I never meant to say that Gauss et al wouldn’t consider 1 a number. I wasn’t trying to suggest that Frege is responsible for 1 being considered a number, but I do see how that could follow from what I wrote.
I am ignorant of when 1 became fully accepted as a number, and so I shouldn’t have written something that carries the implicature that it is “only since Frege.”
