You are aware that 15 is the number that follows 14, are you not? ---

How should I know? ---
**Author:** ![dirtball](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/dirtball/32/18772_2.png) [@dirtball](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/dirtball)\ **Post date:** [September 28, 2022, 9:36pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/questions-only-thread/911667/4352 "2022-09-28T21:36:35Z")
Would it really be a good idea to let people earn points here . . . ? ---

If not, then who cares if anybody’s got 15 of them? ---

Would you accept three points for that excellent question? ---

Shouldn’t one point be an adequate reward for that question? ---

Uh, guys . . . if you’re going to award points, aren’t you going to need someone to go back through the thread and evaluate every question that’s already been posted? ---

Would anyone like to see the tally sheet I’ve been keeping all along? ---

Since it presumably wouldn’t be a question, how would you show it to us? ---

Isn’t it obvious I would do so in the form of questions? ---

Would you think me argumentative if I express doubt that that’s a workable format for a tally sheet? ---
