I was responding to the "why numbers" question. But anyway :

O: "What can you see in this picture?"
P: "Umm... a mammoth"
O: "Ok... what about this one?"
P: "A parrot?"
O: "I think you may be red-green colour blind. The first object was an elephant, and the second was a budgerigar."
...

My point is that everyone who uses an alphabet with the modern Arabic numerals can recognise those symbols, while responses to other objects may be influenced by things like culture of preference.
