"When mathematicians speak of the Pigeonhole Principle, they have in mind a fundamental fact: if you have more pigeons than pigeonholes, then when you put the birds in the holes, at least two are going to end up in the same place. This is not the principle that I object to. Instead, I feel hampered by the principle that people should be pigeonholed according to what they study, or by their academic departments. For applied logic as I am thinking of it, departments are really not of great value. We should try to see beyond the boundaries of disciplines." Larry Moss, 'Applied Logic: A Manifesto', in Mathematical Problems from Applied Logics. New Logics for the XXIst Century. Vol. I. (Dov M. Gabbay et. al., ed.), Springer, 2005: 317 - 343.
