numbers as metaphors.....[1]Kenneth Udut has some interesting
   ideas on the subject
   *==
   Thanks you for the shoutout on this smile emoticon Yeah, I guess
   I do smile emoticon Yeah, numbers are metaphors. They're
   agnostic (in the "i don't know" sense) about what they
   represent... two apples? Don't care. Two pears? Don't care. All
   treated the same. Flip it up though and really, it *is* rather
   important what the numbers represent. They're metaphors for a
   'something'. Are we talking about people? Or grains of sand?
   Makes a big difference between them: people aren't grains of
   sand, even if numbers METAPHORICALLY treat them the same.
