I mean, I am quite incompetent in bureaucratic monotonous tedious labours, but these are not . But if the awesome hidden power of mathematical reasoning is to be imported into parts of reality that behave like math, why not reason about apples in the first place instead of these ethereal 'numbers'? Wisconsin, Madison, and the author of "How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking," recently published by the Penguin Press. Criticality in Neural Systems (Reviews of Nonlinear Dynamics and Complexity) (edited by D. Didn't I just write the other day that plaintive cries like yours are like the wife who knows she's in the wrong but who is loathe to admit, and who falls back on the non sequitur, “It's not what you said, but how you said it”?

It's not that 'axioms' are mathematicians asking for you to just assume some things about numbers that seem obvious but can't be proven.
