Abstract: Traditional fuzzy logic uses a real number d(S) from the interval [0,1] to represent a person's degree of certainty in a statement S. There exist different methods of eliciting these degrees; most of these methods are based on the assumption that a person is able, for every two statements, to choose a statement with the larger degree of certainty. In real life, people are not always capable of a meaningful choice; as a result, instead of numerical values, we get intervals.

For example, in intuitionistic fuzzy logic, the degree of confidence is described by two numbers: d+(S) represents the degree of certainty in S, while d(S) represents the degree of certainty in its negation ¬S. This can be expressed as an interval d(S) = [d+(S), 1 − d(S)] of possible values of degree of certainty.

In this paper, we show that there is a fundamental reason for this inability, and thus, the use of interval-valued degrees of belief in intuitionistic fuzzy logic is justified.
