Yes...it -is- extremely obvious that I'm equivocating.........
Your reason for -why- it's not logical is simply wrong. Don't take my word for it, go refresh yourself on the concepts. The law of identity does not, itself, state that 2+2=4. It simply doesn't. It is -because- the sum of two and two is four, in this universe...that the law of identity demands that all such operations yield 4. If that operation yielded something else, as it does in the OP example...then the law of identity would demand that it always yield -that- else, in whatever universe that it did so.
What purpose does it serve to get it quickly right for the obvious reason, that defeats the premise regardless of the truth of the hypothetical, if you then go on to bluster about some shit that's -entirely- illogical and frustration wityh being incapable of selling that argument leaves you in a position whereby you accidentally allow special revelation to be made equivalent to logic by the simple inclusion of your pet rule, as insufficioent as -that- is....and as you mistakenly interpreted it?
