7>3?

So, you might've seen the new Kia Ad , where they say that seven is more than three.
That got me thinking, why is 7 bigger than three.
To me, it seems that 7 is only bigger than three because of the order we retort the numbers in, thus, it is only a number, in the context of the advert,(People working out which is the bigger number, nothing to do with the warranty) and holds no value.

Can we prove that 7 is actually bigger than 3?

Because you can fit two threes in a seven. Or am I just being to low brow and naive to get this?

But surely, that can only be achieved if '3' and '7' are material, as far as I know, numbers in themselves, have no value.

Can we prove what numbers are at all?

It would depend on how you would define 7 and 3, but if we cannot say for sure what they are in their purest forms, (i.e. not that 7 is just 6+1,etc) then you couldn't really ever work out which is bigger.

7 being more than 3 is key to all mathematics, the only thing without doubt is maths.

1 is more than 2 as 3 is more than 2.

This seems to be a battle of wits and I'm afraid I am unarmed. I shall wade out as quickly and quietly as I waded in.

Which is more, a whole pie, or a half of a pie?

somewhere along the lines, one must put some sort of representation on things for the simplicity of expression.

I suppose we could all go back to 'I'm this many' (holds up fingers) but the numerical representation of tangible objects or intangible ideas is for the facilitation of expression and communication.

Holy crap. I wrote that and knew what I meant at the time, but... that sure does sound pretentious

And probably makes no sense to anyone except me

I'm slightly ashamed to say, I rofl'd at that.

was that you on the floor with me?

HA HA HA HA!!! That sounds like my dad's reasoning

your dad is a math wiz, or hires those that prove 13x7=28?

Neither, LOL... he has absurd, twisted reasoning that somehow sounds right in the end, no matter how wrong you know it is,

Obviously I've picked up a little of that from him

understood.

I would rather have ?700 in my account than ?300.
