Do you have a reference to fuzzy logic violating an axiom used to derive probability theory? I'll admit that I've only lately gotten interested in probabilistic reasoning and inference via Sewel Wright's "path analysis" and going through the upcoming book by Koller and Friedman on graphical models. Before that I'd been a Kosko fuzzy logic fan boy, it all seemed very intuitive, except for the centers-of-mass de-fuzzification. Nice post!
