Dick,
It has obviously escaped your attention that you too stand guilty of
rejecting evidence that doesn't fit your understanding of things. I
refer, of course, to the numero-geometrical phenomena that underpin and
unite the Bible's opening Hebrew words, the Greek form of the Creator's
Name, and that key verse, Rev.13:18.
What you refer to as "a lawyer's tactic and a YEC tactic" is (as Bob
correctly points out) universal, and an inevitable consequence of the
Fall - and, moreover, clearly enunciated in God's strictures concerning
man (eg Jer.17:9). In an ideal world those who call themselves
'Christians' would, no doubt, " tell it straight". But alas, in this
life that can never be!
