	Your argument on 42 reminds me of the Illumnati (sp?) trilogy.
In the books, a number (I think it was 5) is found to be very special
and have importance for a world-wide conspiracy. Arguments similar to
yours are used to turn almost anything into 5. In the end, it is revealed
that what is special about 5 is that it displays man's ingenuity at
developing obscure arguments about such things.
