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.
