You with me?
You're using our logic on goblygoop. We already know 2 + 2 = 5 doesn't work *here*, but that's not the point.
It doesn't work anywhere. 2+2 can only ever=4 (I was joking about the redefining) for the same reason that all bachelors are always unmarried. These two tautological facts, the first mathematical the second verbal, are facts in all universes and all realities both actual and hypothetical.
"Logic" isn't absolute, but logic is absolute.
