I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. I didn't say imprecise measurements were good, guy.

Then it really is not simple now is it? The specificity of math depends on its usage.

Explaining the concept of imprecise measurements to explain 2+2 potentially equalling 5 took me about 30 seconds. I thought it was pretty simple.

Then I guess I can round your IQ down. 2.4 J of energy combined with 2.4 J of energy is 4.8 J. Unless there is a Magic way to invent energy.

Well I can tell you that if you go to a class and are given 2 +2 and answer 5 it will be counted as wrong, because the question is 2 and 2 with no decimals added equals 4.

Well there must be a base to form everything else. I just pray that you don’t do any job that has peoples lives in danger such as medicine, pilot, architect or structural engineer. Also stay away from explosives too.

I think the worst thing about this is how incredibly condescending these people are who seem to think they're that much smarter than the masses Like you seriously, honestly think the point of primary school education is to actively teach people what 2+2 is

Like this fruity hippie ivory tower stuff is actually going to lead to kids not knowing that 2+2=4 Because you genuinely believe that the reason you and I know it is a teacher had to program that information into our dumb stupid empty brains

Replying to @arthur_affect @BacktoschoolD and
(I cringe whenever I think about elementary school teachers doing "math drills" and parents approvingly thinking of this as "real learning" There's no benefit to it at all except rewarding students for obedience by making them sit through something unpleasant)
