Don't you think the UV people meant that everything in UV is "stored in the file" ("treated") as strings (characters)? Maybe that confused Joe, not coming from a pick environment.

Joe this is not true Did it ever occur to you that maybe you are misinterpreting what they are saying or perhaps they are not saying it right or perhaps don't know any better? Everything in UV is NOT treated as a string. UV has several datum types, you just don't see them on the surface, they are handled underneath. I can assure you that math functions (provided you don't specifically request stringmath) are treated as numbers, numeric types, etc. They are absolutely not treated as strings, except where the programmer makes specific string function calls using those variables.
