Well there's the problem. I maintain this to be a mistake.

Ok. You could also maintain that 1 + 1 equals 3 if you wish. Either way you are simply wrong.

I don't think you understand my position if that's your takeaway.

[โ€“] theKalash@feddit.ch 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Your position is that you disagree with established maths. So you're kind of a maths-flatearther with your own theories, I get it. But for most people that just summarizes to "being wrong".
