    My issue wasn’t the numbers, it was the concept.

    The numbers are the placeholders in my statement for the concepts. Each of the concepts you’re calling out has a number attached to it in my citation. If you refuse to acknowledge the numbers, simply use them as placeholders for the concepts as they are 1:1.

      I’m not refusing to acknowledge the numbers I just think the numbers relate to something that has nothing to do with the topic. Hence why I think you’re making a logical leap. You’ve taken numbers that relate to one fact and assumed they must also relate to another with nothing actual to connect them.
