Abstract
The value of recognising an individual item as belonging to a class of sufficiently similar items has already been mentioned (Chapter 3). Any information we have about a cow, for example, is vastly more valuable if it applies to all cows, or at least to all cows of the same breed, age or size, or at the same stage of lactation. Information which only applied to one cow would be of very limited value.
