Yeah, this. When I took AI in college (back in the mid-80s), the single session that stuck with me most was the one where the professor challenged us to define "chair". We spent 45 minutes at it, and couldn't come up with a definition that he couldn't counter-example. It drove home, quite deeply, that human beings are primarily about loose pattern-matching, rather than rigorous definition...
