If you change "number" to "vector" you'd have mathematicians agreeing with half of those.

But a vector is a number, no?

It can be, but it doesn’t have to be. For example, real numbers can be viewed as a one-dimensional vector space over the field of real numbers. And what even number is? We don"t definine this term. We define real numbers, natural numbers, complex numbers but numbers it self has no well defined meaning.

Not really.
