This is true.

2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8

let us now approximate each number to the closest integer

2 + 2 = 5

>> No.3747217

>>3747199
2.4 is not a large value of 2, and 4.8 isn't 5.
You know it, but it's still not funny.

Yes it is.

Its a larger value.

DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

when one writes 2, they mean 2

UNLESS there is a specificied tolerance, 2 =2, and nothing else.

Please stop this shit. It's not funny, it's not clever, all it does it make you look like a dick.

>> No.3747243

>>3747232
No, if you write 2 with no specified tolerance you actually mean 2 +/- 1. Implicit tolerance is always 1 on the last significant digit.

But I assume you are mathtards and never took any error analysis course, so yeah.

This extremely specific system of mathematics supports my argument so I will pretend like all of mathematics follows its rules and condescendingly tell people that they didn't study this specific thing.

Proof positive.

I suppose
circumference = 2 pi r
actually means
circumference = ( 2 +/- 1) pi r

wow you are fucking retarded.

>> No.3747313

>>3747310
nah, it's okay because pi = 3 +/- 1

I've done numerical analysis, including errors and stuff, but that doesn't mean when you WRITE 2, you mean anything other THAN 2
