Dear Gunther and Matthew,    (03)

   1. Two sets are considered identical if they have the same members.    (05)

   2. But two types are considered identical if they have the same
      definitions.    (06)

Relevance to temperature:  The criteria for maximum temperature
depend on the definition, not on membership in some set.    (07)

GS> I don't know quite what's the point?    (08)

MW> I don't know. I am not the one that brought this stuff up.    (09)

I was trying to explain the distinction above and its relevance
to the discussion about maximum temperature.    (010)
