You're assuming that you can't sense something in a real way. Even Zeno didn't make that assumption. We seem to think we have some magical thing in our brains that allows us to be logical without using information we've obtained from our senses. Whether it be memory (A replay of something experienced through sense) or instinct (a preprogrammed response developed from our ancestors sensed experience) or abstraction (a symbolic representation of experience used to symplify things) or deduction (a mixture of memory and instinct and abstraction)
332 is a symbol. What if say 2 of them were twins? Then on a genetic level there are only 331 unique individuals. See it depends on what or how you're counting. Even though the group hasn't changed you can come up with different numbers based on what you're looking for. The numbers only exist as symbols for grouping things in common that we percieve to be in common. Another analogy: You're the only person on earth and you see double sometimes. If you see birds in a tree and they aren't singing how do you know how many birds are in the tree. See senses are a requirement.
