    In this contribution the authors provide a solid mathematical theory to support the well-known popular choices for the set-theoretic extension of union and intersection to fuzzy sets such as the max-min, the probabilistic sum-product, and the bounded sum-bold intersection combination. The construction is based upon the theory of falling shadows that has been developed by one of the authors [\textit{Wang Peizhuang}: Fuzzy sets and falling shadows of random sets (Chinese) (1985; Zbl 0589.94014)]. The interpretation of the concepts of ``cloud'' and ``falling shadow'' is not quite clear. Moreover it is not shown if the relation between probability theory and fuzzy set theory is just a formal one. Finally we want to point out that the transition from \((\Omega, {\mathcal A}, P)\) to \(([0,1], {\mathcal B}, m)\) is done without any motivation or explanation. The idea to interpret a fuzzy set in terms of probability theory is promising, but the way it is executed in this paper is very poor and it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. The given proofs are almost trivial while the terminology used is not very precise.
