One will disagree with the statement, "You are a number" since a number is too simple to justify the person that one is.

Not every existing thing in the world is reducible to a number. Hence, the statement, "You are a number" is false.
Although numbers can identify who a person is, it does not tell what he/she is like inside. Of course, there are many numbers that an individual can be identified with such as university application number, student number, bank account number, credit card number, and car license plate. Other numbers are also associated with people?s lives such as, telephone number, height, number of bones in a person?s body, 23 pairs of chromosomes in each human body, even DNA genetic code can be converted into numbers. However, none of these show characteristics, attitudes or feelings of a person.
A number is a quantity, not a quality! …
