Can one plus one lost?
But in some cases, like if you have one cookie and someone gives you another cookie but then you lose one, you're back to having just one cookie. So in that sense, one plus one can be lost, right?
I see what you're saying, but in that example, you're not actually performing the mathematical operation of addition. You're just keeping track of how many cookies you have. The concept of losing something is different from the concept of adding and subtracting numbers.
