   Because "varieties" is a ratio number with a true zero and equal
increments up to the maximum numbers. The UoD (Universe of Discourse) is the
range of numbers (from zero to whatever), and the term sets represent
variables such as "few" and "many." Incremental changes in the numbers cause
incremental changes in the degree of membership of that number in the set of
"few varieties" and/or "many varieties."

   Since you have the time, read up on set theory. :-)
