There are more + signs and multiplication signs than square roots. That, fact.

Why did you ask that question? "Why would that be?" It is possibly the most telling question you have ever asked. It shines a bit of an almost outside insight into the depth of your thinking.

The closest I ever saw to this question of yours was in the movie "Amadeus", in which the enemies of Mozart in King or Kaiser Leopold's court convince the Kaiser to criticize Mozart's work, and when M retorts him, the Kaiser says, "well, there are too many... notes on your music sheets."
