Had you of wit or letters the least jot:
But, O most lamentable man!--of wit
You never had an atom, and of letters
You have three letters only!--they spell Ass!
And--had you had the necessary wit,
To serve me all the pleasantries I quote
Before this noble audience. . .e'en so,
You would not have been let to utter one--
Nay, not the half or quarter of such jest!
I take them from myself all in good part,
But not from any other man that breathes!

You expected more, Mr Crantz? I'd have thought you too would have
realised that Bill the Binary's barnacle nature is a retreat from
the world of articulation. But he can count to 1.
Bivalves can count to two, which is far beyond the cramped cranium of Crantz to
comprehend. Tadpoles can't count at all, as they have no extremities for
assitance.

Dear Binacle,
Moving from a crustacean existence, even an immobile one, to a
bivalve is an evolutionary backward step in many respects.
Indeed, in voluntarily moving across to join the Mollusca, had
you opted to become a squid, that would have been a much more
significant step, and you would have been able to enter base 10
maths, rather than remaining simply base. Or a nautiloid, and so
enabling mandatory sailing content.
On your other assertion, Tadpoles know that they count indeed,
and that significantly. Look how rapid your response was to the
goad.
