Arguably not. Mathematicians have teased out differences between different many-valued logics and systems. A critical one between probability and fuzziness is that probability includes the axiom of the excluded middle and fuzziness does not. In probability the values of mutually exclusive events must sum to 1.0, in fuzziness they need not, because it doesn't require events to be mutually exclusive in the sense that probability requires.

Yeah, Bayesian is a true model you can chop and change the viewpoint. It's much more sophisticated.
