You need to consider how your documents are used. Numbers are really handy
in documents that are discussed by a group of people, for example, a long
contract, scientific article, legal stuff, etc., where it's really handy to
be able to say "See section 4.1.1," as opposed to "Find that place where it
talks about..."

Are there other arguments I could be making to defend an non-numbering
Heading style? I really really don't want this to pass...
