It is not a yes or no question given "maybe" is the third option.
Right. So you're not sure what you're doing when performing addition?

I am adding one phenomenon and another. Tell me how one phenomenon and itself does not show multiple phenomena?

So you're not adding a "phenomenon" to itself?

Adding one phenomenon to itself shows multiple distinct phenomena thus to say adding it to itself is a contradiction.

Yet a thing and itself is the same as addition.

This is simply you not understanding normal language usage.

This is simply you appealing to normative semantics. There's no such thing.

What's the "normal language use" of "understand"? How does "understanding" obtain?

"And" is addition...there is nothing else to understand.

When we talk about "a thing 'and itself'" we're not talking about addition. So if that's the way you're reading it, you're not understanding normal language usage.

False, you are failing to look deeper into the language. Something "and" something is addition.

False you said: "lol--this solely hinges on what people have in mind when they say something."

So I asked you: "So identity is subject to interpretation then?"
