The first half of the paper restates well-known facts from many-valued logic -- without mentioning any MVL-literature. In the second half, the usual understanding of ``fuzzy modus ponens via the compositional rule of inference (i.e. to infer from a fuzzy implication \(A\to B\) and a fuzzy datum \(A'\) the fuzzy datum \(B'=A'\circ(A\times B)\)) is replaced by taking \(B'\) to be the smallest solution of the relational equation \((A\varrho B)\varrho(A'\varrho B')=\underline 1\) with \(\underline 1\) the universal 1-subset of the suitable universe of discourse and \(\varrho\) an operation which yields fuzzy relations from fuzzy sets like the fuzzy cartesian product but with reference to an implication operation instead of a conjunction operation. No motivation is provided. The ``fuzzy modus tollens is reduced to the same type of relation equation without mentioning any negation: bare nonsense from a logical viewpoint. Only two references are given to survey papers from the fuzzy field. The results are stated clearly, no proofs are given, however.
