Approximate equality is no fuzzy equality

We argue that fuzzy equivalences, and in particular fuzzy equalities, in general are not suitable to model approximate equality due to the notion of transitivity. Using them for this purpose therefore leads to counter-intuitive results, as we illustrate in detail in a fuzzy relationbased framework for the representation of linguistic modi2ers. We solve the problem by choosing resemblance relations.
