Mathematics allows for multi-valued logic, fuzzy sets and probabilty theory.
So everything is certainly not binary yes or no answers.

What distinguishes math is that there are rules for making decisions
even when the
decision is that the answer is correct only with a 70% probabilty
(mean, variance, etc)
Pilipul where one tries to twist things to whatever one wants won't work.
Bottom line - fuzzy sets are okay, fuzzy logic is not
