IAN: By 100%. Fuzzy logic measures a mismatch
between words and facts, like if I say that
"the cup is full" but it is only 70% full,
then there is a 30% mismatch = 30% false.

IAN: Then that's the truth, by 100%. The photon
is at zero time, so it's both at here/now and
the point it was 10-years ago. That's the truth.
I don't believe reality contains a falsehood.
