Actually, he is correct. Practically any word in the English language will eventually get you to the number 4. Lets take your word "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" for example. There are thirty-five letters in that word. There are ten letters in the word thirty-five. There are three letters in the word ten. There are five letters in the word three. And there are four letters in the word five. That ends up at four(4). So you are wrong. That word will end up at 4. Give me any word (In English) and i will be able to break it down to the number 4.
