Putting chestnuts together to get specific and easily predictable amounts of chestnuts is not the same as putting 1+1=2.
Now you're confusing one concept with another. Probably because you don't want to admit that science can't prove mathematical truths. Think about it McGee- why would we need axioms in math if we had science? Because science can't prove math, that's why.
Stick to the concept we're talking about. Don't go off into another direction just because you don't like your ass being handed to ya!
The only thing I changed was putting "one" instead of "1" and "put with" instead of "add".
If I add one chestnut to a pocket already containing one chestnut what is the physical result and could you give it a numerical value?
Are you having some trouble doing this? Would you like help?
You have to have a prior concept of mathematics in order to give it any mathematical value.
Without knowing, or assuming 1+1=2, you could not make such a claim.
