   Hej Ulf   
      
   one of the things authors use is allegory wherein the real situation is   
   reformulated into something immediately understandable.  I guess in the   
   extreme a fairy tale.   
      
   So in this context one should try to point out situations in ones   
   everyday experience that are essentially fuzzy.   
      
   The could be many examples here from driving to how loving or harsh your   
   wife will be today. (apologises to my wife).   
      
   By tricks like this one can then identify with the world as being rather   
   fuzzy in many cases.  Then one could launch into some simple math that   
   say talks about temperature control in a house, again a familiar place   
   to give just a taste of the math framework.   
      
   On a project many years ago it took me two weeks of R&D to decide   
   competitive pricing was fuzzy which somehow my boss inherently knew.   
   So some things may be not so clear but a fuzzy world it is.   
      
   all the best
