This is sophistry, which happens when you use language to abuse scientific principles like math. If you’re combining two clouds to make one cloud, those two clouds become fractions of a cloud. They’re volume doubled even if you want to call it one cloud.

Logan Cole Papen :
You are multiplying the piles of laundry and the clouds not adding them. So they become 1x1 which equals 1. The answer wasn’t wrong, the wording of the question was.

Disagree. With the laundry analogy you are not doing 1+1. You are merging two arrays

Chase Baker :
your changing the size of your units, 1+1=2, using your laundry example, you've selected that a pile is of a certain size, you've added those piles together, no you have 2 piles worth of laundry in one place, the problem is language not math, so 1+1 does not equal 1 in the real world

One pile of laundry, plus one pile of laundry equals two times the original amount of laundry. You can fluff up all the fake words and imaginary ideas that you want to but 1+1 = 2 100% of the time.

Then maybe just be specific with your question??? Don’t ask some trick question like your witty or something… but I think Simon talks about this in why it’s important for effective communication and critical thinking

Dogorious :
I don’t get what she was saying, how did 1 + 1 become more than two, the laundry bit didn’t convince me, and no other examples were provided. Then the conversation leads to go notice three new things, like how does that correlate to the 1 + 1, because the three new things are still about the one thing ie: neighbor. This was confusing and didn’t make sense at least for me, and the guy just seemed to accept it as if to avoid looking or feeling stupid in front of her, but I don’t know her so yeah! I thought she didn’t make sense.

False. The moment you add units you have shifted the proposition away from mere numbers. 1+1 numerically will always be 2. Changing the proposition to 1 X + 1 X does not change the original numerical proposition.

Grouping and adding two different operands

She is wrong. Because 1 pile of laundry + 1 pile of laundry = 2 piles of laundry added together making a NEW 1 pile of laundry containing 2 piles of laundry.

Gerry 🇨🇦 :
Adding 2 piles of laundry together to get one pile of laundry means you started with two half-piles of laundry. 1/2 + 1/2 =1

What the fu** If I looked up and saw 2 clouds yes they are different but it's 2. One... two ..

When you recognise that nobody knows, that's when the conspiracy theories get started.

When someone says a number plus a number would be dealing with numbers. She should say “what is one pile of laundry plus another pile of laundry”

1 plus 1 = 2. 1 mixed into 1 = 1. Clarity defines the answer. But I agree with her that People who 'know' know that they don't know everything. its a better way to be.

I like what she is saying except she never gives an example of 1 plus 1 not equalling 2.

No I don't want to be a robot but robots do have some redeeming qualities. They are better at math than me for example.

1 Plus 1 is always and forever 2. The scenario you’re talking is one combined with one could still be one. It’s Word play.😏

her point is about things, not numbers (in the pure mathematical sense). big difference.
