If numbers don't work for describing the subjective qualities of
consciousness there is no evidence words can do any better. As Ludwig
Wittgenstein said "*What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence*".
Maurice Switzer said it even better "*It is better to remain silent at the
risk of being thought a fool than to talk and remove all doubt of it*".
