Not really. It just depends on the specific real-world meaning of + and of =.

I'm sorry Pyrro, but I'm going to have to require a proof for your equation.

I'm getting so tired of these so-called sceptics posting conclusions without any proof or evidence. :mad:

This reminds me of how much I hate math, and how its sunday evening and I have a Trig assignment due tomorrow, but I'll put it off until lunch time.

I hate circular functions!

On the other hand, 2+2=5, for large values of 2.
