Mar 17, 2010 at 19:12 comment added Chris Schommer-Pries "Why would someone be skeptical that a poset defines a category?"-- for the same reason that they would be skeptical that a group defines a category. Usually when people first encounter categories they are given examples like the category of sets or vector spaces. These are places that mathematics happens. This at first seem very different than things like groups and posets which are usually the objects of study, not the context.
