“…Similar considerations apply to methods of dating ancient objects, such as calibrating carbon-14 dating against uraniumthorium results and those from counting tree-rings (the "German absolute oak chronology") (van der Pflicht 2004). It is obvious that it is not simply a matter of deciding on the reliability of a new method in a yes-or-no fashion.…”

Both the traditional Aristotelian and modern symbolic approaches to logic have seen logic in terms of discrete symbol processing. Yet there are several kinds of argument whose validity depends on some topological notion of continuous variation, which is not well captured by discrete symbols. Examples include extrapolation and slippery slope arguments, sorites, fuzzy logic, and those involving closeness of possible worlds. It is argued that the natural first attempts to analyze these notions and explain their relation to reasoning fail, so that ignorance of their nature is profound.Résumé: Les approches dans les logiques Aristotélicienne traditionnelle et symbolique décrivent la logique en termes de traitement des symboles discrets. Pourtant, il existe plusieurs types d'arguments dont la validité dépend d'une certaine notion topologique de la variation continue, ce qui n'est pas bien saisie par les symboles discrets. On inclut comme exemples, des extrapolations, des arguments de la pente glissante, des sorites, des arguments fondés sur la logique floue, et ceux impliquant la proximité des mondes possibles. On fait valoir que les premières tentatives naturelles à analyser ces notions et à expliquer leur relation au raisonnement échouent, et que l'ignorance de cet échec est profonde.
