The hypothesis that a significant fraction of Be stars are interacting binaries is discussed in general terms. The author believes that the observed Be stars are a mixture of three different types of objects. The weakest point of the single-star hypothesis is probably the difficulty in explaining the quasi-periodic V/R variations; the weakest point of the binary hypothesis appears to be the statistical expectancy of a fairly high number of eclipsing systems among them.
