Answer to your question: Yes.
Thank you for explaining.
I had pinned a meaning to the use of 'number'. I didn't think harm of making what I thought, more true, solid, sound. Apologies if my questions seem off ordinary. I am not ordinary.
I'm always intrigued by linguistic misunderstandings. I take it English isn't your native language? There really are SO many words for the same damn thing in English. So don't feel the need to apologize. Most native English speakers don't speak English properly.
