You mean two men + two women + a baby = five persons.
You need the arithmetical 2+2=4, and 4+1 = 5, in your "argument".

I only see that one person plus another person can eventually equal
three or more people.
With the operation of sexual reproduction, not by the operation of
addition.
It depends when you start counting and how long it takes you to
finish.
It depends on what we are talking about. Person with sex is not
numbers with addition.
You are just changing definition, not invalidating a proof (the proof
that 2+2=4, in arithmetic).
