What you thought was one concept is two nested concepts and joined

It would also merge with the figure [Both "is X" and "is not X" are compatible.
In short, the area between these sets is the gray area.

The usefulness of defining the boundary of the concept.
In the figure, two people are disputing the boundary of concept X.
They dispute whether the black circle case near the boundary is included in X.
Would that argument be useful?
Suppose it is clear that the white circle is included in X
Even if the boundary of X is not clear, we can use the fact that the white circle is included in X
Isn't over-quality trying to clarify the boundaries of X?
