Isn't 140 considered high?  I don't know about the bottom number.  If it was a concern I would think someone would have discussed it with you.

not everyone does this.  anyway, the answer is because they were taught to do so.  I think it was to be sure the number didn't get confused with another.

The "powers" often assigned to numbers come from old superstitions and folklore. \n\nThirteen is supposedly unlucky because there are thirteen witches in a coven, Judas was the thirteenth Apostle, etc.\n\nSeven is supposedly lucky because it appears frequently in the Bible, seven heavens, seven seals, etc.

Fear of those who are different. I imagine it was a good survival strategy back in the tribal days, so those who had that fear were more likely to reproduce and pass on the trait. Now we're, more or less, stuck with it.

Several expressions come from goverment organizations such as military, police, etc... that have to code everything for added complexity.  Just the way a 187 is the code for a murder in law enforcement.  There are many others that leak out into public, first through family members that have had to endure these coded expressions at home, then through friends socializing with out of the office buddies!  There are also codes like these used in everyday businesses.  saying " I need a 52" in certain stores means that you need someone with a mop!\n\nThere is also the old time phrases that have been modified as time goes on such as from the gold miners after the 1949 gold rush... known as the 49ers...Of course you can't forget the rating scales on the club scene... By the way I am a 10!!! plus or minus a few...\n\nHope this helps!

Because their mind messes with them! They don't want to get scared, but their mind makes them scared.

People are afraid of things they dont understand. People who dont understand god, spend all their time trying to rationalize with logic why he doesnt exist, which will be a never resolving issue because god is too mysterious to rationalize.

It's a phobia, so it doesnt have a rational explanation. It could be something from your childhood, like maybe you were really little and were scared of falling off of something, or saw something that bothered you while on a bridge or a high floor, and internalized it as a phobia. The answer would be different for everyone, but usually its an internalized fear of something that you don't consciously realize.
