P.S. Ii seems to me the OP’s wording wasn’t precise enough. I can very well imagine a situation in which some basic addition would yield non obvious results (like addition inside modulo N number space).
Hm… not precise enough for what? I think we all know what was meant… unless Eliezer did a ninja edit after you posted ;) this seems to cover it:
There are redefinitions, but those are not “situations”, and then you’re no longer talking about 2, 4, =, or +.
What you suggested, that’s not a “basic addition” any more, is it?
