I say so with some resolve because  I think, numbers as we know today are incomplete.  So throwing out my current understanding will follow. You will see how scientific or otherwise, it is. I will take two practical approaches to understanding numbers. I am not interested in whether the number is a concept or a thing etc. What numbers  do,  explains a lot more. So the two approaches are: Enumerate what property numbers help denote. Assume numbers are incomplete and verify if consequences explain inabilities of numbers as we know today.  What do numbers help denote? Numbers help  count . What does 0.75 Mango mean then? Numbers help  measure ...
