Hey, for sufficiently large values of 2, 2 + 2 = 5.
If you're rounding in what you're showing, but still *carrying* the
value of the number, 2.33 rounds to 2, 2.33 + 2.33 = 4.66, which rounds
to 5.
Please come up with a better example of a "just plain wrong" idea. :)
How about this: speaking in absolutes. Like "God said it, I believe it, that settles it," or "Religion is evil and should be eradicated."
You know, that sort of thing.
Repeating your playground nonsense over and over doesn't make it true.
