IMHO an output of a function being bigger than Graham's number isn't particularly impressive.

Consider TREE(3) -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P6DWAwwViU

Graham's Number is notable for being one of the first, being an actual relevant bound in an unrelated proof (not just the output of a function), of teaching people the Up Arrow Notation.

To me, BB(10), TREE(3) etc. being so large is only minorly more impressive than GG(1) where I define I define GG(x) as "Graham's Number + X"
