Mike: fuzzy logic doesn't "know" anything; it would be more useful to
the debate to limit that sort of personification. For that matter, the
closed form math doesn't "know" where the poles & zeros are, either, no
matter what algorithm you choose to express it.

And, most importantly, physical processes don't have poles & zeros,
anyway. The poles & zeros are a feature of your mathematical model of
the process. There is no reason that I know of to believe that there are
no other valid models of physical processes, or to believe that other
models might not be as good.
