I get that mathematics is a theory (philosophical). However, it is a widely accepted theory along with applications - physics, biology, chemistry, etc.

So why are we arguing about what our predecessors have established in terminology? That’s what it seems like. Why can’t four be five? Well because as society, we established it’s 1-2-3-4, not 1-2-3-5. It is so regressive. Harvard sure likes to suck the money out of its students.
