The term should be, "Magic Numbers". My doctor says my blood pressure should be otherwise, my weight should be otherwise, my liquid intake... and I always reply that I don't like math, that I live for happiness, and that I will do nothing regarding his "Magic Numbers". How many Jews... "wait! Magic Numbers". I don't believe anything the government or the press has to say if it involves numbers. Also: To end discussions with light-weight thinkers about the past, I tell people that they believe what they are taught, not what really happened. "And, you just were't there, so keep it to yourself until you really know something." That does it. No magic numbers, no historic drivel.
