No one can prove that they can count to a trillion.

Yes i can. I'll show you how to count . I count until 99 and then it's 100. Then i repeat the process but add 'one hundred and' in front of every number. The 100 is replaced by 200. Then again but the one in one hundred is replaced by a two and the 200 is replaced by 300. Etc
When i reach a thousand i repeat all previous numbers but add 'a thousand and' and replace 1000 with 2000
Etc etc etc.
I can 100% prove to you in under 5 minutes that i can count to 1 trillion without a shadow of a doubt.
You understand the process, but you don’t have the lifespan to actually complete it.
Unless you have a shorthand way of turning 13+ syllable numbers into a sound that takes a fraction of its length to pronounce, it would take thousands of decades.
