Could one nonsensical question plus one nonsensical answer
equal one heck of a clever retort?

If someone asked whether the universe would descend into chaos
if one plus one equals two were disproved

and someone else, in response, suggested adding a litre of water
to a litre of sand, pairing rabbits, or changing the radix,

then perhaps it could—as an exercise in rhetoric, not the result
of an abundance of free time and unlimited access to the net.
