Damn aight. Would you be willing to explain for the sake of my own curiosity? I don’t have the gears to understand why that wouldn’t be at least one reason.
If this is “kind of a test for capable people” i think it should be remained unanswered, so anyone else could try. My take would be: because if 222+222=555 then 446=223+223 = 222+222+1+1=555+1+1=557. With this trick “+” and “=” stops meaning anything, any number could be equal to any other number. If you truly believe in one such exeption, the whole arithmetic cease to exist because now you could get any result you want following simple loopholes, and you will either continue to be paralyzed by your own beliefs, or will correct yourself
You didn’t get the answer correct yourself.

This is what I meant by “leads to other incorrect beliefs”, so apparently not.
