If you're using the base 2 number system, 1 plus 1 is written as 10. Oh, my goodness. Somebody asks you, how much is 1 plus 1? Should you say 1, 2, 10? And the point is that when you know you don't know, then you pay attention. In this context, let me see. I'll be a smartass and I'll say 1. Or in this context, I know the person wants me to be obedient and I'll say two, so on and so forth.
