Abstract
This paper deals with amalgamation of fuzzy opinions when a fixed numb er of individuals is faced with an unknown number of alternatives. The aggregation rule is defined by means of intensity aggregation operati ons that verify certain ethical conditions, and assuming fuzzy rationa lity as defined in [1, 2]. A necessary and sufficient condition for no n-irrationality is presented, along with comments on the importance of the number of alternatives.
