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.

I was thinking that if there is a group X of objects of the same mass,
if X can be split into two groups A and B separated by a distance such
that A and B pull (gravitate towards) each other equally, then X is even.
Forces are equal and opposite (from conservation of momentum) no matter
how the objects are grouped.

(or something like that)
So gravity knows even and odd. :)
