Gotta disagree with the esteemed Mr. Giordono here. From my perspective,
mathematics is strictly theoretical since "one" is a concept that doesn't
have a counterpart in observable "reality." "One" is not a fact, but like
most things, a convenient fiction. And without one, it's hard to have two,
three, etc.
Taking matters too fucking literally,

By the way, in the walking vs. waking controversy--has anyone suggested
"wanking"?
