      Probability is a relative concept. Philosophers tend to make binary probability functions their main concern. On the other hand, mathematicians treat probability as an absolute function. However, following Rényi some mathematicians have started to study binary probability functions. The author, aware of the relativity of probability assessments, finds the use of binary probability functions an ineffective and wrong-headed response. The paper is an attempt to find a new response to this problem.
