The author uses the problem of determining the distribution of prime numbers as an example, highlighting the need to define fundamental concepts like "multiplication" and "addition" before performing such mental experiments. The author concludes that these mental experiments can be performed with perfect accuracy, resulting in measurements that exactly match the "actual" mathematical reality.
