    It is not the case that The supporting argument's dissolution of inconsistency via equivocation-diagnosis itself presupposes that 'mental', 'abstract', and 'physical' lack determinate extension, which undermines rather than licenses hybrid posits.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Practical indeterminacy at boundaries need not entail total lack of extension; 'physical' remains stable enough for philosophical purposes despite gray cases.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Hybrid posits can be defended without claiming perfect category precision—many viable theories operate with fuzzy but workable conceptual divisions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim conflates semantic indeterminacy with ontological incoherence; unclear language doesn't automatically defeat substantive metaphysical positions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Equivocation-diagnosis requires stable meanings to identify ambiguity; unclear category boundaries undermine this diagnostic capacity itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Hybrid positions (e.g., property dualism) presume determinate mental-physical distinction; indeterminate boundaries make such hybridity incoherent.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Arguments that solve inconsistency by exploiting semantic vagueness smuggle in clarity elsewhere, creating masked rather than resolved contradictions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
