I do know and I have studied and played music for well over 12 years, to include university courses.

7 tones out of 12 notes is a diatonic.

And you are talking about spreading incorrect bs. Literally everyone here will correct you on that.

An octave is 12 tones, a diatonic scale is 7 specific interval-related tones within that octave.

If western music was based on the pentatonic rather than the diatonic, you could say it is 5. It is not always 8, it depends on the type of scale.
