You assert this without justification.

Yes? You don't understand hypotheticals?

You assert this without justification.

Maybe you mean that you simply disagree with the merit of the idea. 
That's fine. But you phrase it as if there's actually a good reason why 
the idea needn't be considered other than your personal preference.

You say "surely 整數 can be written in italics or bold with
out altering 
its meaning."  I'm disagreeing that it is as sure as you say, but your 
justification seems to be "saying the same thing louder". :-)
