i think that jake couldnt disagree with you saying htat "every nonempty set of whole numbers has a smallest element" when youre defining smallest as "less than or equal to everything, or less than everything else."
or something.
the 'adds up to one' solution is mad satisfying. like an orgasm in the head.
or something.
i think a lot of that basic math stuff needs time to sink in.
