I put this idea to the test of experiment by asking my secretary (who is Irish)
what colour crows are in Ireland (where, as I mentioned before, crows are
"hooded" - half grey). She answered "black, kind of grey", but said nothing
about them not being proper crows.

Not that this is terribly interesting from a philosophical (or sci.logic) point
of view, but I think the discussion was becoming a bit speculative.
