IGPL 18, No. 6, 936-940 (2010).} \itemab In this paper the author analyzes a set of seven objections formulated by {\it H. Wansing} and {\it N. Belnap} [Log. J. IGPL 18, No. 6, 921--935 (2010; Zbl 1209.03020)] as a response to {\it D. Dubois}'s paper ``On ignorance and contradiction considered as truth-values" [Log. J. IGPL 16, No. 2, 195--216 (2008; Zbl 1139.03013)]. First, the author expresses his opinion on the seven objections, and then responds and gives some clarifications regarding other points of view of Wansing and Belnap; for instance: ``the ambiguity between ontology and epistemology"; the possibility to re-code the language for FDE as two-tiered; usage by other authors of the same kind of encapsulating trick based on a two-tiered logic. \itemrv{Ion Iancu (Craiova)} \itemcc{} \itemut{many-valued logic; truth-value} \itemli{doi:10.1093/jigpal/jzp069} \end
