Also, at one point in the Demystify Sci video he said "an action times an action"...
That was an important moment. He betrayed himself there.
Times is the action.
Times is an operation and operations are actions.
3 groups of 7 put together is 21.
The operation is "putting together". That is the action. Because the action includes multiple actions of the same type, it is multiplication.
Arguably Howard has a point that 1 x 1 then is not multiple actions of the same type and so in that respect it is a bit anomalous as a multiplication problem goes, but that's the very nature of the multiplicative identity.
