   William thanks for the response   
   OK to make thing clear, these are computations of Democratic Countries (DM),   
   Military Power (MP).   
   Thus under normal rules the operand AND one calculates DM & MP as the   
   smallest degree.   
   But what if one wants the MOST Military Power and Democratic Country?   
      
      
   Out of interest I posted a fuzzy questionnaire that replicated a 1973 Rosch   
   experiment, unfortunately no-one from the group replied. But my findings   
   here in the UK found that people who were aware of fuzzy were more likely to   
   respond to the question:   
   On a scale of 1 to 10, can you rate how each word typifies its CATEGORY?   
      
   On the higher or lower end of the scale. I still need more respondents to   
   confirm but it would suggest those who either work with fuzzy or aware of   
   fuzzy actually think less fuzzy???
