In the classical crisp context, preferences use to be assumed to be transitive in order to assure consistent behavior. In the fuzzy framework, a standard assumption is the condition of max-min transitivity; alternatively, consistency has been understood by Cutello-Montero as a rationality measure, therefore allowing degrees of performance. In this paper we stress that, neither in the crisp nor in the fuzzy case, consistency should not benecessarily associated with underlying linear orders. %~
