It could be possible to redo definitions and theorems in number theory so that 1 is a prime number, but it would require adding nitpicky caveats to the existing theorems like 'every positive integer has unique prime factorization'.  Similarly I think that definitions and theorems in probability theory could be redone so that the mean is the principal value mean, but this would requiring adding nitpicky caveats to theorems like the laws of large numbers. I'm not sure if this is correct, but if it is then it could be a better reason than rigor for the sake of rigor."}}
