I cited her comments about fuzzy logic in my KR book:
The philosopher Susan Haack (1978, 1996) was one of the early critics of
fuzzy logic, and she has continued to sharpen her arguments against the
claims that natural language justifies or even requires "degrees of
truth." Her most serious criticism is not that fuzzy logic is vague, but
that it is too precise: instead of modeling the way people talk and
think about vagueness, fuzzy logic forces an unwarranted quantification
of vagueness.
