What about starting on 4 or 3 1/2? Does that mean there's a new "1" and we have to revise the count?

J always argues with me because she enjoys it.

UT: Whenever I'm walking and there's music, I have to put my left foot down on 1. Because I was in marching band.
J: 1 is meaningless. What if they called one "7"?
UT: There's still 1. There will always be 1.
J: But if one was called "7" there wouldn't be 1.
UT: No, it's a musical thing, there's always a 1. There has to be, it's natural and instinctive.
J: But still - what if there was no number one?
UT: No mathematical 1? You're just playing with me now.

There might not be a numeral 1.
There would still be a number 1.
