Dale Earnhardt is 3 without 3-nes
it has nothing to do with math or a reference to an amount
and the ESPN film "3" only refers to this race car driver
no numbers
no 2+1
just a driver who got famous and crashed into a wall
In fact I know there are lots of racing fans out there that think this way:
when they think of 3 the image of that car comes into thier mind first
not an image of a numerical concept learned from sesame street or elementary
school
So I think the form or knowledge is stronger than the content
Humans naturally think this way with language
We don't have to associate this with that all the time
I know as humans we have to associate it with something
but it doesn't always fall into the most obvious content
a number isn't always numerical
a letter isn't always alphabetical
