Subject: Re: are fibrations evil?
Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2010 09:50:44 -0400	[thread overview]

Dear John,

A property is "evil" in your sense if it is
not invariant under equivalences.
Invariance under equivalence is a well
established mathematical notion.
I prefer to say that something is not
invariant under equivalence than to say
that it is "evil". There is no need to
introduce a new terminology.

Best,
André
