      What if the painter meant a 6 but an entire culture, entire nations of people have be interpreting it as a 9. For hundreds of years this has been known as “the place with the big 9.” The author’s interpretation of the meme is stupid. Human-decided things like this do not have objective right and wrong the same way that facts about the physical world do.
