This post and others like it are a great example of a cognitive bias know as Apophenia. Its the tendency to seek meaning and order in what is actually random and meaningless.
My brother, I am not a numerologist, nor am I insane. But, thanks for pointing out that some people take the numbers too seriously. There are cases where a deliberate use of the number 17 does have Q significance, but I fully realize that this was not one of those times.
Not picking on this post or anyone specifically, just a word of caution about tricks the human brain can play. Agreed...sometimes it DOES...but what is really remarkable is how often you see something when your brain is looking for it. Try it out next time you are driving...if you say to yourself "man there are Honda Accords everwhere" boom...you will see them everywhere. They were always there, your brain just ignored the data in the same way your brain is ignoring the pressure of your feet on the ground, or your ass in your office chair ect...
Once you make it a point to observe it, you can't NOT see it. The same is true with the number 17, or anything else random that you choose to focus on.

Because you see the number 17 somewhere does not mean anything. Because you see it lots of places does not mean it is a coincidence.
Planes flying is what planes do. We have thousands of them in our military inventory. It means absolutely nothing.
