We agree that the approximate number system (ANS) truly represents number. We endorse the authors' conclusions on the arguments from confounds, congruency, and imprecision, although we disagree with many claims along the way. Here, we discuss some complications with the meanings that undergird theories in numerical cognition, and with the language we use to communicate those theories.
我们同意近似数量系统（ANS）确实代表数字。我们认可作者关于混淆、同调以及不精确性的论点的结论，尽管我们在这过程中不同意许多观点。在这里，我们讨论了一些与数字认知理论所依据的含义以及我们用来传达这些理论的语言有关的复杂性。
