Numbers matter
Sally Forth comic from 2005. I can't find the original one online and this platform only lets me paste text, sorry. The dialog goes like this:
Sally: "But we have to remember that birthdays are just numbers. Numbers we can prescribe any value to that we see fit."
Ted: "But I thought numbers had a definite value."
Sally: "Work with me here, Ted."
"Numbers matter"...not if you can't--or don't want to count them.
