Polger and Shapiro believe that an individual being a member of a kind is a species of realization. This has important ramifications for some of their other views and for their critiques of the work of others. First, by their own lights, Polger and Shapiro should not count individual membership in a kind as a realization relation. Second, their handling of individuals realizing a kind fails to explicate what is involved in kinds realizing a kind. Third, their critique of Dimensioned realization fails to engage that view.
