All numbers are immaterial. They are simply constructs of human scientists, created to create confusion and dissention among us. This is easily shown by the "kinds" of numbers there are: imaginary, irrational, irrelevant, irregular, regular, rational, real, unreal, even, odd, queer, different, indifferent, Fibonnuci, weird, wrong, impossible, whole, fractional, differential, partial, impartial, and many, many others.
Have you ever tried to tell your bank that you have plenty of money in your account because they use "real" numbers and you use "imaginary" ones? They won't accept your figures. Take it from me, they won't.
And to hear Mathematicians talk about numbers! Why, I haven't hear such language since Polecat Joe called Foul Fred a nasty name over at the Legion Hovel and Fred replied with something that turned a whole square mile bright blue and then Joe...well, it was something to hear, and mules all over Eastern Idaho sighed in reminiscence.
Should you doubt any of this, I refer you to the epic "The Society On The Stanislaus" by Mr. Brett Harte, a real author.
