Quoting Dale Tronrud <[email protected]>:


P.S. to respond out-of-band to Dr. Schiltz: On the US flag I see 7 "red stripes",
6 "white stripes", and 50 "stars".  If I state "I see 7" I have conveyed no
useful information.


Yes, but cast in a mathematical equations one would write :

Number of red stripes = 7
Number of white stripes = 6
Number of stars = 50

i.e. without units

one would not write :

Number = 7 red stripes
Number = 6 white stripes
Number = 50 stars
