> What do you think any definition is other than the creation of a socially shared construct? A definition is simply a definition. It doesn't have to be social or shared. I can define addition in any manner, and in fact there are many other definitions of addition. > Let’s test this. Axiomatically I am always right! As such, I derive that it is illogical, dare I say irrational, of you to disagree with me. A truer statement has never even been written! Facts! You have a very interesting misunderstanding here. A fact is true only relative to an axiom. So yes, relative to such an axiom you are right, similarly how relative to the axioms of the field of real numbers the statement 1 + 1 = 2 is true. You can construct any axiom and derive facts from it. I can construct axioms such that 1 + 1 = 0. That doesn't make the statement 1 + 1 = 2 in the real numbers any less false!
