I think this policy goes agains human nature. Numbers are a great mnemonic aid.
I used to study for math tests in college and the last thing I would do is remember the number of properties in a definition of things, e.g. a field, which I think numbered eleven. That way if I was asked to check whether some structure was a field I would know if all the properties were exhausted or not without having to recall them all. You can call that a lowbrow way to study for a math test, but it worked great for me.
Why deny to the entrepreneur what you give willingly to the Platonist? Titles are intended to mainly to attract interest. You can't fit an argument in there any way you try. The Seven-Fold Path, the Ten Commandments, etc. were named so to command attention. Let a hundred flowers bloom under a thousand points of light.
