I understood your argument about defining the confidence c, and agree
with it.  But I don't see why c cannot be used together with f (as
*traditional* probability).

My logic actually does *not* mix B, P, and Z.  They are kept
orthogonal, and so the semantics can be very simple.  Your approach
mixes fuzziness with probability which can result in ambiguity in some
everyday examples:  eg, John tries to find a 0.9 pretty girl (degree)
vs  Mary is 0.9 likely to be pretty (probability).  The difference is
real, but subtle, and I agree that you can mix them but you must
always acknowledge that the measure is mixed.

Maybe you've mistaken what I'm trying to do, 'cause my theory should
not be semantically confusing...
