Shortly afterproposing Dempster's rule ofcombination as a general aggregation rule for evidence from independent sources, Zadehformulated an annoying examplefor which Dempster's rule seemed to produce counter-intuitive results. Since then, many authors have used Zadeh's example either to criticize Demster-Shafer theory as a whole, or as a motivation for constructing alternative combination rules. This paper shows that the counter-intuition of Zadeh's example is not a problem of Dempster's rule, but a problem of Zadeh's model that does not correspond to reality. Two different ways to fix the problem will be discussed, showing that Dempster's rule ofcombination perfectly behaves as one would expect. 1,2
