I agree. I am saying that we need not assign it a probability at all. Your solution assumes that there is a way to express "two" in the language. Also, the proposition you made is more like "one elephant and another elephant makes two elephants" not "1 + 1 = 2".

I think we'd be better off trying to find a way to express 1 + 1 = 2 as a boolean function on programs.

This goes into the "shit LW people say" collection :-)
