Because if thats what you're saying do be very clear about it.
Oh look the English teacher is suddenly curious as to the conundrum of assumptions!
What I'm saying is that the chestnut case is not scientific proof or evidence of the truth of the mathematical proposition 1+1=2.
There is no scientific evidence for 1+1=2. Science has to just assume fundamental axioms of mathematics are true.
The statement that I am an English teacher is an admission that you are in need of one. Its good to see you are coming to terms with your self-evident limitations.
You're saying the two chestnuts would not be physical proof that putting one chestnut with one chestnut will inevitably lead to a very specific and easily predictable amount of chestnuts?
Again, be very clear about this.
