Abstract
A well–known view supported by Zadeh concerns the inadequateness of probability to capture what is usually treated by fuzzy theory. In particular, in his 2002’s paper [15] he refers to PT – standard Probability Theory – as not being fit to offer solutions for many simple problems in which a key role is played by (what he calls) a “perception–based information”. I agree with Zadeh’s position, inasmuch he specifies that by PT he means “standard probability theory of the kind found in textbooks and taught in courses”.
