Numeric qualities are not what constitute a derivative or not. There is no "magic number." Moreover, the numbers in your poll are arbitrary and have no foundation. Why not 43.23458 as a number?

Derivatives are different depending upon the medium. However, a mere trivial variation does not a derivative make.
