     It should have been obvious from the media's history of referring to attackers or crackers as hackers, the Fediverse as Mastodon or GNU or GNU/Linux as "Linux".

     I simply don't know you well enough to assess whether your position of 2+2=4 is valid.

     I've had dinner with somebody opposing this claim, and while you and them would set different paths for math, I am optimistic that either 4 or 5 would be a positive step. I'm endorsing both.
