I don't believe this to be true. 2+3 What I see about from a mathematical point of view is two things, and an operator that acts upon those things. The OO point of view is that 2 is an object and that the plus sign is a method of this object and that 3 is the argument of this method. The OO point of view is *nothing like* the mathematical point of view. In math, operators and numbers are two different things and the former don't "belong" to later.
