Because that's how they've defined the words "two", "four", "plus", "equals", "people", "torture", "for fun", and "wrong"?
Neither of those statements makes any empirical claims about the physical arrangement of matter in the universe, so neither of them would be refuted by any possible way the universe could have turned out.

That this is false is obvious to anyone who has actually bothered to observe reality. People sometimes unnaturally and non-essentially impose such direction, but Reality itself tends toward the opposite.
- bawolff 6y agoI agree with 2+2, i disagree with torture is fun. I don't think anything is implicit in the definition, and i can imagine a (very unpleasent) world where that is the case.
