Sure it would. For example if I'd like to troll about 1+1=2, I'd ask: "are you sure you typed it correctly?" : Perhaps the second argument was a complex value (say an imaginary 1), so I could assume you meant this:

1 + (0+i1) = 2

which is wrong because the result is also a complex value = 1+i1 <> 2 (since a complex presentation of 2 = 2+i0)

Someone would definitely try to say that 1+i1 = 2, but I will insist that 1+i1 <> 2+i0 and this thread will get at least 3 new pages

j/k
