As usual, there's a relevant Akin's Law:

> 12. There is never a single right solution. There are always multiple wrong ones, though.

I'm not sure simple arithmetic is really the focus there, though I suppose "2²" is a good an answer to "what is 2 + 2" as "4".

The real right answer is of course "can't say without knowing what the field is that we're operating in".
