Climbing for more than 20 years and I still refer to my cams as the red one or the yellow one. tell me to hand you a number 2 camalot and you'll get a blank stare. I know what size fits in where and I get why it holds or not.
Great OP.
Oh yes, I have an acquaintance who is all hung up with numbers, he has built a climbing training business on the numbers. so much so that the students need to know what number knot out of the Ashley's Book Of Knots. If you can't recite the numbers then you fail the course. What up with that. Better that you can tie the knot is my theory. Demonstrate that you know how to do what you do rather than be able to be a parrot and recite the numbers. Knowing the number of a knot will not keep you alive.
