Why most people set the ik blend attribute to a value from 0 to 10 ?

On the wrist control (nurbs circle or whatever) you add attribute that controls the switch between ik and fk right?

Well why don't people make that attribute as boolean? The make it as int that goes from 1 to 10 and they use set driven keys...

Someone please explain this?

not all fk-ik systems have a proper switch which aligns one system to another, usually you have to eyeball the alignment. Therefore, to compensate they add the ability to blend in and out of one system to another without any popping.

like magilla said if your rig doesn't have a switch that matches your ik to fk or fk to ik then a blend between 1 and 10 gives you the ability to animate the switch over a couple frames so you don't have pop in your animation.
