>2+2=4 follows from the definitions of 2, +, 4, and =
lol you do see how you fucked up here right? nothing in the number 4 contains the number 2. what is at stake is, how do you get 4 from 2 + 2? you presumed to know that 4 contains the premise of 2 + 2, but how? couldn't be from experience, as there are plenty of instances of 2+2 you haven't observed. if it was based on experience, you have no more evidence to say 2 + 2 = 4 than you do to say that every crow is black.
