Bruno,
\I don't see relevance in your example. I do not argue against singling out
ONE number amongst all, I argue against singling out numbers amongst
nuimbers AND non-numbers.
In this sense numbers make sense only in relation with non-numbers.

The same with numbers, I note in passing. You cannot believe in all
numbers except this one.
The number 17 exists only in relation with all the other numbers, in
some sense. I would say the mathematical truth is wholistic. Perhaps
even holistic ?
