As I said, he misinterprets what the number actually means, since he
ignores the *composition* of said number. Besides, even if what you say is
true, the fact remains that it is a *belief*, not a verified/verifiable

"...What you have to understand, young lady, is that the Greeks, not
content with dominating the culture of the Classical world, are also
responsible for the greatest, some would say the only, work of true
creative imagination produced this century as well. I refer of course to
the Greek ferry timetables. A work of the sublimest fiction. Anyone who
has travelled the Aegean will confirm this..." Professor Watkin - Dirk
