i mean you could have some axioms and definitions that make 2+2=5, but the real question to ask someone making that claim is “What benefit does your system have over the one currently in use?”

if you are being tested within a particular system, giving any old answer doesn’t make you correct simply because it is coherent within some different system.

ultimately i think what they are trying to get at is that not being great at math doesn’t mean you can’t have valid opinions on other things, contributions you can make on matters where math doesn’t determine the essence of the issue
