The statement is technically correct in that mathematics is a model, not reality itself. However these lunatics have no interest in such subtlties and just want 2+2=5 so that jamal can pass his exams.

I disagree. Mathematics isn't a model of reality at all, though it can be used to describe it. It's an internally consistent system which is self-objective.

I thought that's what I said, maybe not. It's possible to make internally self consistant models which don't reflect reality at all.
