I use number because people are more familiar with them. Most people can easily conceived that “17 is odd” is true independently of them, but would have an harder time to conceive that KKK=K independent of them, even if this does not mean much more than the first (left) projection of (K, K) is K.
That's a good example. People would immediately recognize that KKK=K is just a convention. They are deceived that "17 is odd" is an eternal truth independent of human thought because they generalize from their experience with physically countable things.
