True. But by that reasoning, any garden-variety "backprop" net is
a neurofuzzy net.

In other words, Fuzzy ART looks to see which hyper-box each case
falls in. The terminology and prose style of the ART literature
remind me of the art (lowercase, nonacronymic) criticism literature.

So we have established that there are no fuzzy rules in Fuzzy ART.

And there is no fuzzy reasoning in Fuzzy ART.
And the decision regions in Fuzzy ART are not fuzzy. 
The fuzziest logic in Fuzzy ART is why it's called "fuzzy".
