all statements of the form

"You can't put a number on [thing] !"

are false.

@Lioness you can't put a number on the infinite
you can't put a number on ineffable truth
you can't put a number on a number

@astralwolfwitch @Lioness I mean.. You can put any number on any concept and argue a connection (the Law of Fives is a hoot like that)

But whether the resulting statement is a usefully descriptive or ethically good one is a a much more complicated matter.. Starting assumptions, method, goals and context become major factors

(unrelatedly, the mathematics of infinities is a real and fascinating topic! One I know very little about, but still worth checking out)
