On the surface, this may appear false. But what you’re lacking is the context in which I made this conclusion.

Here you go: 2 + 2 = 5 for large values of two.

What does that mean? If you round 2.4 to the nearest integer you get 2. So that’s part of my context — rounding to the nearest integer.

In that context, 2.4 = 2
