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

I can't believe this argument is actually still going on! This is a good tweet though.

Explaining a simple route to 2+2 being 5 by talking about precision of measurements isn't delusional. It's a pretty obvious and understandable concept.

If your precision is in grams, and you measure 2.3 grams, it will be rounded down to 2 grams. If you add 2.3 grams to 2.3 grams, the resulting 4.6 will be rounded up to 5 grams. It's really simple.

So, when a doctor is prescribing medication for a child where every ml is important do you want them doing that math?

Yes, it's better than the alternative (4.7 is closer to 5 than to 4)
