Absolutely. And logically, you would believe everything someone says - unless you find errors in it.

And regardless how you want to interpret it, ALL questions can be answered one way or another. By answering that it isn't equal to 5, you are still answering the original question.

In order to answer why 2 + 2 is equal to 5, that would require you to agree that 2 + 2 is equal to 5.

The moment you disagree with the question - you have to change it.

The question is in no way "false" or bad or anything else.

The question itself is false because 2 + 2 could not equal 5.

It just shows a lack of knowledge from the person asking the question.

Absolutely.

The question itself is still valid.

My job is to look for whether the question has contradicting properties or not. You may imply a square circle, but there isn't 1, so you'll have to do without.
