sorry, read: "classes OF real objects" below


>Hence classifications and their corresponding classes are not "real or not 
>real" (they exist from the moment we forge them), they are "useful or not 
>useful" in a specified context, and classes or real objects appear more or 
>less well discriminated, this possible fuzziness being itself a possible 
>source of further investigation. Different problems, different optimal 
>classifications (criteria and delineation rules...), and this vails for, 
>let's say... terminal taxa of all imaginable kinds and names, defined for 
>optimal communication in specific contexts.
