<p class="Abstract">This paper discusses the consequences of the latest PUEBI EYD
 V regulations for scientific ontological theorization through analyzing the
 semantical metaphysical commitment it reflects when we write formal mathematical
 statements using purely mathematical symbol (e.g., “there are 22 aardvarks”).
 This paper shows that PUEBI EYD V commits to mathematical Platonism
 metaphysically. This commitment brings harm to observable entities ontological
 nature in scientific theorization as shown in nominalism projects of philosophy
 of mathematics. Scientific theories - and even mathematical theories - should
 always reject the existence of independent objects for there exists only
 structures (as truth-value). Authors use nominalism stance as a methodology to
 reject the metaphysical commitment of PUEBI and defend the formal usage of
 writing mathematical statement without number symbols (“there are twenty-two
 aardvarks”, etc.).<o:p></o:p></p>
