That point doesn&#x27;t need to exist. A &quot;heap&quot; is not a formally defined concept, and the Sorites paradox is basically what you get when you improperly assume it must be.<p>Think about how you learned the meaning of the word &quot;heap.&quot; People just used it. They used it in some varying contexts, and your brain picked up on a pattern.<p>It&#x27;s like if I said &quot;This is my dog, Blue&quot; and someone was all hung up on the paradox of &quot;what color is the dog, really.&quot; Blue is the name of the dog. You know this because I used it as a name. You don&#x27;t need a formal definition, all you need is to know how a name-context works, and you can tell it&#x27;s the dogs name.<p>&quot;The probability of something being viewed as a heap&quot; is not the right way of looking at it. What&#x27;s important is the probability of it being <i>correct to be called a heap</i>, which is derived from the correlations in usage patterns of the word &quot;heap&quot; around various things.
