Numbers and metaphors

What’s more convincing in an argument? Are numbers or metaphors more persuasive?

It might not really matter - because we use both to tell our stories - as proof, prior experience, simbolism, charged meaning. And maybe you don’t need to choose. Use both and see what happens. Does it work better when we use numbers and metaphors instead of just one of them? Try it out.

Maybe it’s no accident that typewriters and keyboards have both letters and numbers.
