Abstract
To check the de Finetti coherence of a putative probability assigned t o a class A of events, we must know the possible combinations of truth values (constituents) of any finite class of events in A. Even for a very simple, finite, A this can be impossible. In this case the notion of DF coherence cannot be applied to some or all the putative probabi lities on this class of events.
