Not entirely true. While indeed Noah was commanded by God to bring into the ark by twos, he was also admonished: "Of every clean beast though shalt take to thee by the sevens, the male and his female: and of the beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and his female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth." Gen 7:2,3 (emphasis in italics mine).Thanks for the correction - the clean beast and the birds of the air were in groups of 7. Too much haste and got called on the effort for simplification.

Since it didn't really happen, it makes no difference.
