    The paper starts with some polemic against M. Burgin (see, e.g., [\textit{M. Burgin}, ``Theory of fuzzy limits'', Fuzzy Sets Syst. 115, No. 3, 433--443 (2000; Zbl 0960.26009)]) and his prophetic sentences like: ``\dots theory of fuzzy limits is the base of the neoclassic analysis, which is a new branch of fuzzy mathematics and extends possibilities provided by classical analysis.'' Höhle asks: ``Does the renaming of bounded sequences into fuzzy convergent sequences mean the extension of possibilities provided by classical analysis?'' and feels sorry for ``the complete avoidance of any topological argument''. Using topologies on [0,1]-valued sets, the author shows that every bounded sequence has always local limit points represented by singletons of the underlying [0,1]-valued set.
