PRECISION

[L:143] A concept is made distinct, through analysis, "by making their characteristics successively clear". If all characteristic are thus made clear, the concept is made completely distinct; if it "does not contain too many characteristics" [i.e., to grasp at once?] it is precise. About analysis, Kant adds "since one cannot become certain by any proof whether all characteristics of a given concept have been exhausted by complete analysis, all analytic definitions must be held to be uncertain", suggesting that strictly speaking we can never know when a concept is completely distinct or precise.
