This paper is about the problem if the principle: The number of \(Fs\) is the same as the number of \(Gs\) just in case the \(Fs\) can be one-one correlated with the \(Gs\), suffices as an explication of the concept of number. This problem was brought up by G.~Frege in his \textit{Grundlagen der Arithmetik}, and Frege explained why - in his opinion - the answer must be negative. Recently, Crispin Wright and Bob Hale expressed their disagreement with Frege. They invoke a so-called Sortal Inclusion Principle in order to defend their positive answer to the above question. The authors now explain why they find the position taken by Wright and Hale unsatisfying.
