I mean, every symbol or word we use for describing quantity describes one unique real-world value? Yes. So? If it didn't, if the word "seven", say, applied to two different values, that would be kind of stupid, wouldn't it? You'd tell your wife or husband to pick up seven eggs and he wouldn't know how many to get. People would probably start referring to the lower "seven" as "little seven" and the higher seven as "big seven". And people like you would stupidly think "little seven" was a magical eternal thing. bow'ls.
