It may be bad form to respond to my own post but it occurred to me to add to
the mix of:
 
possible/impossible 
certain/uncertain

Always/Never
Infinity/Zero

Oh yeah...
Dynamic/Static

Yeah I think so. Although if it were possible to say that something was
impossible that would make it a certainty; we are certain it can't happen.
So I like to make the scale 0=uncertain 1=certain and call it the MoQ.

Hi Krim

Well, there is surely a scale from 0=impossible, to 1=certain and
everything inbetween. This sliding distinction is surely essential
for knowledge and control?
