... lesson that I learned in grammar school besides reading was that “Mathematics is the absolute science—numbers don’t lie, one plus one will always equal two."

But as an anti-authoritarian Leo child, I challenged the absoluteness of one plus one always equaling two.

My third grade theory was: if you add one color yellow, plus another color blue, combined they equal one color that is green. So sometimes one plus one equals one.

My theory marveled the majority of the class, except my teacher who defended the absoluteness of her absolute theory in the same manner, I assume, that most Pre- Colombian scholars defended the theory that the world was flat.
