I figured it out! 2 + 3 will never equal 10. That is like saying Obama + Pelosi equals conservative government.
Therefore, I disregard everything else, and come up with 9 + 7 = 16. :)
Yesterday I couldn’t spell mathematician, and today I are one!
That's exactly right.
It doesn't matter how bad, incompetent, or deliberately obtuse, or fraudulent someone is at math; 9 + 7 is still 16.
It's a lot like global warming science in that regard.
