Another interesting and educational proof episode...thanks.
In epistemology they also sometimes use a substitution test. So two things are of the same category - or MAY be of the same category - if they occupy the same conceptual space. So a King and a Sultan are of the same category but a Pope is not because of the roles they play in society. This is how we can even translate concepts across cultures at all. So a soup is anything that can be swapped out for another soup. If you order a soup and sandwich lunch deal and you get a gazpacho or a miso instead of a chicken noodle, you wouldn't think twice of it. If you were to order a soup and sandwich and got Cheerios and a taco, you'd probably ask to speak to the manager. On the other hand in Cantonese cuisine they have dishes that are soup in name only i.e. the dessert soups (like peanut or black bean soup), which occupy a different culinary space and which could be reasonably be substituted with a fish soup. To be fair to the Cantonese, they use different words for these dishes in Cantonese....
