      Even if we grant that some hypothetical reaction may pull matter out of the air that's still 5 total grams when you include whatever nitrogen or whatever gets sucked in. That is not even to say, of course, that such a reaction exists in the first place.

      It's because the mantissa of "2 grams" isn't visible, it's below the level of precision being measured, therefore the quantities get rounded down separately and get rounded up when combined It's not really that hard

      Rounding errors don't alter the underlying fundamental math. 2.49+2.49 =4.98 still

      Yeah but because you can't see at that level of precision you don't know what those numbers are

      It doesn't even need to be that close to 2.5 2 1/3 pretty clearly rounds to two. And two lots of that clearly rounds to five.

      If you have a set of scales and you have a thing that shows on the scale that it weighs two, and another if that thing, that also shows on the scale that it weighs two, and you weigh both together you still see that it weighs five. That's the point.

      The argument has never been to crumple up arithmetic and throw it in the trash and replace it with a completely new number theory The argument is that the number theory "we all learned as kids" maps onto physical reality in various complicated, subjective ways

      And an important part of becoming an educated person is thinking about that subjectivity, making it a habit of thought ("Where did these numbers come from? What do they specifically represent?")

          It's also worth underlining that Math, at the level where you are thinking about going to grad school in it, stops being about anything directly relatable to the real world and starts being about how aesthetically these patterns of thinking appeal to you.

          If you're the sort of person who should be teaching Math, you've had the epiphany that "Math is an esoteric art that improbably is very good at describing reality even though we don't set out to do that at all" and come to terms with that.
