 Gärdenfors’s triviality theorem was widely perceived as an unexpected and somewhat shocking result. Postulate  (\(*\)5)  can hardly been seen as the culprit, so the triviality theorem was interpreted by Gärdenfors basically as a conflict between  (\(*\)4)  or the Preservation Principle on the one hand, and the Ramsey Test on the other. But the reactions to his result were mixed, and no consensus has emerged so far.
