i think Robert Anton Wilson (fiction author) said that it was possible to ascribe meaning to any random pattern or instance of numbers if:

  • one really applies their imagination
  • one really wants to believe something irrespective of whether the pattern is meaningful

both types of people are a danger to themselves, and the first type particularly a danger to others


...so I'm gonna say it again: these are arbitrary goldilocks numbers: not too big, not too small, and pulled out of satoshi's... hat

In your words, there's a sense that you have a humanities education. But programmers tend to think a bit differently.
