The whole thing is stupid. All the theories, rules, and advancements are utterly stupid".
Those two situations aren't similar at all. Mathematics doesn't work with fiction. It works with real life facts: Something that can be verified, there are no contradictions in mathematics. 1+1=2 always.
Bad, very bad example...
