The relatively more orthodox view amongst philosophers about the heap case is roughly there is a kind of ambiguous region of successive ns where it is neither true nor false that n grains make a heap. This is a very, very technical literature though, so possibly that characterization isn’t quite right. None of the solutions are exactly great though, and some experts do think there is an exact “n” where some grains become a heap.
Thanks, I get what you meant now.
