> I'm not trying to refute your maths

this is hallucinatory deference to a notion that shouldn't have started to exist in the first place. It's a thinko. Like a typo, only worse. Are you refuting his axioms? Communitivity? No, you're arguing with not even his arithmetic, you're arguing with the choices of inputs to an accepted logic. In no sense of the general concept, are you arguing with his mathematics.

This maths thing is a British thinko from the early 20th century that needs to go. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/maths?q=maths
