This is a distraction and you are playing into it.The fact that GMU & Keys are so sure that 2 + 2 always = 4 is a prime example, and provides probative evidence, that both lack imagination, ... .
LOL! That is ADORABLE!
Of course, in reality, thus in truth, the equation, 2+2=4 remains true and valid, anywhere, at any time, simultaneously, anywhere in the universe, within the paradigm of that which is otherwise known as 'reality'; which is to say the scope of space/time in which humanity exists.
What our in-house member of the Intellectually Less Fortunate is clumsily trying to convey, is an addled expression of thought which rejects the confinement of the laws of mathematical constructs.
Which is to say that they offer an equation, which established, through the construct of the equation, that for which the reader is to find, which in this case is two sets of the value 2, which are to simply be summed. Where one sums two sets of the value 2, the solution is always 4.
What dingus is needs to do is to secretly redefine the equation. Wherein it resets the value 2 and defines it as 1 Peach and One Apple. Therefore it can claim that 2+2=2 peaches and two apples.
Of course in so doing, it alters the equation without the knowledge of the individual answering it. In effect changing well established rules and simply pretending that the new rules are as valid as the the old rules. When in reality, the equation, in terms of values and operations are set ... altering the terms without presenting the new terms in a new equation: is INVALID.
Which is the lie that all 'alternative' math establish. The consequence of 2+2 can be expressed in many ways... 1+1+1+1, 2+1+1, -1+5, 1,000,000 - 999,996 and so on.
But in No WAY does that mean that 2+2, sometimes equals something other than 4.
What it should have offered is how the idiocy it is selling was originally advanced in the 1970s when I was first introduced to it: "2 and 2 doesn't always add up to four!".
But to do that risks that the reader will be tipped off to the trick... which again that it is redefining the terms presented by implication in the verbal exchange, which is being withheld from the individual.
It's no less pitiful than making up your own language and laughing at people who can't understand what you claim to be 'saying'. Which you've no doubt recognized in other areas of the Left, where they use words like 'liberal' to represent the antithesis of the advocacy of liberty... and "Gay" to represent the shameful behavior of the sexual deviant. It all serves the same purpose, which of course, is Deceit, FRAUDULENTLY advanced as a means to influence the Ignorant.
ROFL!
So pitiful...
This once again demonstrating the foolish nature of the Ideological Left... comprised entirely of children and fools.
The straw man of 2+2 does not always = 4 is meaningless to the actual thread.
It does in context, and I suggest you not use "Straw Man" until you research its actual meaning.
