Do you have a source for that quote, by the way?

However, you are getting at something. If you take one, split it, and 
put in a fulcrum, you have 3, including the fulcrum. If you take 3, 
split it, and put IT on a fulcrum, you get 7. Now, this would imply 
significance to the numbers 15 and 31 as well. Do we see those numbers 
appearing frequently?
