Hey, for sufficiently large values of 2, 2 + 2 = 5.
If you're rounding in what you're showing, but still *carrying* the value of the number, 2.33 rounds to 2, 2.33 + 2.33 = 4.66, which rounds to 5.
I was using integers obviously. You are just being silly :)
Please come up with a better example of a "just plain wrong" idea. :)
No need.
