 In 1978 Gareth Evans focused opposition to vague objects with a short proof modeled after Saul Kripke’s attack on contingent identity. If there is a vague object, then some statement of the form \(`a = b\rsquo\) must be vague (where each of the flanking singular terms precisely designates that object). For the vagueness is allegedly due to the object rather than its representation. But any statement of form \(`a = a\rsquo\) is definitely true. Consequently, \(a\) has the property of being definitely identical to \(a\). Since \(a = b\), then \(b\) must also have the property of being definitely identical to \(a\). Therefore \(`a = b\rsquo\) must be definitely true!
