Why is 1+1=2 and not 3?
That makes sense. But why isn't the answer 3? I mean, you have the two original objects and the result of adding them, which is another object.
That's an interesting perspective, but in the context of the mathematical definition of addition, the answer would still be 2. The objects that you start with are not included in the result of the addition, which is simply the number of objects in the resulting set.
