In this paper I respond to Trenton Merricks's (2005) paper 'Composition and Vagueness'. I argue that Merricks's paper faces the following difficulty: he claims to provide independent motivation for denying one of the premisses of the Lewis-Sider vagueness argument for unrestricted composition, but the alleged motivation he provides begs the question.
