Arguing deductively

EVEN IN THE PURE REALM OF MATHEMATICS, WE NEED TO CLING STEADFASTLY TO THE KNOWN or, at least the given.

EMPLOYING DEDUCTIVE THEORY, LET’S TRY
A BRAND NEW WAY TO ARGUE !!
How many of these are correct?
2 × 2 = 5, … 6 ÷ 2 = 3, … 7 – 1 = 5,
… 6 + 7 = 14 … 909 × 1 = 909 …

Did you entertain any of these thoughts?
● 2×2 is almost 5, doesn’t that count for anything?
● 6÷2 is not 3 if you’re using a different base.
● 7-1 is stupid because it’s so obvious.
● 6+7=14 may be getting better because it’s almost correct.
● 909×1=909 is probably wrong somehow…

DID YOU STRUGGLE WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE NONSENSICAL ARGUMENTS ?

NO !!! . OF COURSE NOT !!!

Why not?

THEY’RE LUDICROUS !!!!

And _________ ?

AND THE TRUTH IS SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THAT I DIDN’T NEED TO GO DOWN THAT RABBIT HOLE !!!!

A+
