you have to know the answer is 4 before learning to add 2 + 2. see how that sounds?

If you want masses of people to be unable to think for themselves, be dependent on you for answers, and be unable to tell when you lie to them it's a very good idea to prioritize having an answer over understanding the steps needed to arrive at it.

You need to know that addition is a thing and have reasonable confidence that 2+2=4 before attempting 2+3
