Well I guess that is fair, as Quantus in Latin means "how much", and with math it is how many.
Numbers may be a partial aspect of the objective world, but only using them to describe things loses a lot of data. You see 10 horses in a field. reporting them as such means nothing to the tax man, who wants also to know how much are they worth? That amount varies through the life of the horse. And the value of individual horses varies quite a bit too.
The only thing the math does is give 10 equal horses. After quantifying them in terms of money, we can let the math shine with much more detail. 1 prize stud worth $250,000 (who ran away) and is hanging out with 9 scrub mares worth $800 each. We shall have to see if they gave him some bad horse disease that brings his value down to 0 however.
When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
