Assumption A:
That which is not crisp is fuzzy.
Ergo Stem-Cells are fuzzy.
IF A THEN Stem-Cells := Natural World (since the choice was arbitrary)
But Fuzzy \subset Natural World { Derived from directly, and by
indirectly , homo sapiens \subset Natural World }
Whence
Natural World ~=~ Natural World, where "~=~" denotes fuzzy or approximate
equality.
This is a logical Tautology. So nothing was proved (nor disproved).
{QED}
