Not such illogical crap like
``a = a + 1`` which must be obviously false unless 1 is defined as the
neutral element for the definition of ``+`` here.

I don't quite know what you mean by "neutral element". I think you mean
the identity element under addition, which is zero, but that doesn't work:

0 = 0 + 1

Obviously not.

Perhaps you didn't read carefully the above post? He said "unless *1* is defined as the neutral element for ``+``" Calling "1" the identity of the "+" operation, or calling "+" an operation having "1" as its identity element is, errr, uncommon at least, but perfectly valid...
