Yes, & No.

The Greek/numbers/dissection into smaller & smaller components methodology of KNOWING is very useful for a great many things.

And, there are SOME ways to quantify intangibles e.g. love etc. depending on criteria and context.

However, the Hebrew phenomenological methodology of KNOWING is also MORE useful than counting or dissection for KNOWING SOME things. I doubt your spouse would prefer you to KNOW them via dissection vs the Hebrew mode of physical intercourse!
