Plato's Number

I want to start by saying I am fairly decent at math, and at determining the various different applications, whether scientific or practical of numbers that may be used in every circumstance. Now I can say, I highly dislike Plato's "geometrical figure of dissonance". I read his math about the fertility and prospective matchmaking of people within a society, and it made no sense. I reread the paragraph and it made less sense. I then looked up what I could about the passage and every source comes to the conclusion of his math not even being algebraically sound. I respect Plato's theories, he is even incredibly spot on with a lot of his societal changes within governments based on human nature, but; it bothers me when when people use something, like math, that cannot be used in a theoretical discussion with sound importance or even a manner of sense of any kind. Geometrical figures cannot in any way describe the complexity of the thousands of jolts of electricity that run through our grey matter every hour in order to produce the expected route someone "should" take in order to find someone for marriage. I just don't understand, and it angers me.

I commented on Sydni's.
