Hi Nil, 

I have a question about predicates and truth values:  How is it said in PLN 
that if predicate p has (stv 0.6 1) then Not p should obviously have (stv 
0.4 1) right ...if it is true that being fast has certain probability 0.6 
then not being fast should automatically be assigned certain probability 
0.4 right?  Or am I wrong?
