I think the worst are the galaxy-brained mid-wits on twitter that might make some dumb argument like: but in programming, if you concatenate strings i.e. "6" + "6", then you'd get "66", so he's not wrong. I hate the 2+2=5 arguments with a passion because they are so willfully disingenuous and generally boils down to a mistranslation or redefining of terms mid-equation. 10 + 10 doesn't equal 100 just because you calculated the result in binary and then read it in decimal again.
