heh yeah, numerology doesn't make much sense when applied to measurement units generally. That hasn't stopped it being applied anyway. For someone already prone to this sort of thinking, they're looking at the number, without thinking about how the measurement base was derived. Thankfully, this article isn't so much about debunking the exact myth, but rather the notion that the standard has any particular historical significance. It is interesting to think that it wasn't until recently we have even been able to reasonably measure and standardise frequency.
