Nope. Not falling for it. NOT FALLING FOR IT.

This leads very quickly down a rabbit hole on what precisely counts as a "door" or a "wheel."

    I say wheels.
    Because of Lego.

    Any pulley or sprocket is arguably a wheel.

    Just because they are round doesn't make them a wheel. Now if we count the individual balls in a ball bearing as wheels then wheels win hands down

    Searching the definition of a door at 2 am, befire i start checking average production data for home appliances like toaster ovens, air fryers, microwave ovens, etc. Fridges have doors. Doors have doors. Dog doors. A door can have two doors. A dog door and a spyhole door.

    Yeah no. Too broad

    It gets so much worse than that. Is an electrical switch a door? It's a straight bit that bridges a gap and rotates on a hinge. How about gears? Do gears count as wheels? They're round, they spin, and they apply mechanical forces on their perimeter.

    You can actually attempt to answer a question like, "are there more dogs or cats?" because dog and cat are relatively specific. You might quibble whatever wolves or lions count, but adding wild animals to the numbers won't change the math much. But door or wheel? Those are objects much harder to pin down.
