That's an interesting idea. I think it depends on what you're trying todo with the definition -- if you're using the criteria for research, where you need some pretty clear boundaries, it makes sense to have some cut and dried lines. If you're treating human beings, of course, it probably should be seen as a continuum, since nearly everything in humans is a continuum.

Statistics, man. Gotta love 'em, huh? There was a class, years back, at the University of Washington, called "How to Lie with Statistics." Very popular class...
