roflmfao. I have a MASTERS DEGREE in physics, but thanks for the advice all the same.

While the symbols are not the number, the number is not the dimension and the dimension is not the object.

Consider a table upon which there is a bowl of water with a goldfish swimming in it.

How many objects are there on the table?

Is there one goldfish bowl, to show that there is only one God?

Or do we have a bowl of water with a fish in it to show how God relates to us?

No. Of course! There is a bowl, some water and a fish, to represent the Holy Trinity!

Feh!
