      Become a street vendor and start arguing for that degree of rounding. See how it goes.

      If I do not have access to a measurement tool with the degree of precision I want, and I am forced to compromise based on estimates (a common outcome in street vending, depending on the street), there are many situations where the 2+2 = 5 result is the fairer one

      You get that, right Do you understand I'm talking about a completely commonsense, real-life problem here That there are plenty of situations where dogmatically saying 2+2 = 4 is a way for me to cheat you

      The more general way to phrase what I'm talking about is "Weigh them all together" If the scale has a fudge factor then adding up separate results from it will make it worse But the "2+2=5" idea is absolutely an accurate way of describing it

      Imagine opening up a street market with a scale like that.

      Shit are you not aware that this is a real thing, that you always ask the person to weigh all the shit together if they can That weighing them separately (and rounding by a bit each time) and then summing them is a way to fuck you over

      Obviously not on a matter of whole pounds or kilos, but every little bit adds up, that's why they use a small scale and do a bunch of weighings Man no one ever actually taught you to shop at a street market huh

      1) Your example is still more extreme than reality (actual scales). 2) we’re talking about people understanding the meaning of || || and ||||. Which you’re taking issue with.

      Well, I am stating that people do understand that meaning, it doesn't actually need to be "taught" in any meaningful way, and that people talking about complications or reframings of those symbols are doing something important and useful you stubbornly refuse to understand

      I mean, shit, I just gave you an actual, real-life, completely practical example of how not being aware of this -- which many people unused to unscrupulous merchants aren't! -- can get you cheated out of significant amounts of money And you're still giving me shit over this

          Most people don't know that math, at its core, isn't really about numbers. It's about logic and reason. I enjoyed math in high school so I went to university for a math degree. I got my head handed to me because it was wildly different than I expected.

          Math is a tool, and numbers are a tool within a tool. The kind of math where you do logic statements (like 'x thing and y thing implies x thing') really took me off guard. So for all of the right's spouting of "facts and logic," they *really* don't understand facts and logic

          People teach their kids to count to 100 before they teach them to count to -10 or 0.

          2+2 = 5 +- 1 is a perfectly solid math way to describe a result. That assuming we are using base 10 & old style algebra and arithmetic In other base and other notations, anything is fair game. G.d those 2+2 = 4 people never took a linear algebra class ? Never saw binary numbers?
