You don't see how asking humans to multiply both sides of 2 * 2 = 4 by the same, very large, random-ish number, and expecting that they'll get different things is relevant to this:

> 2 * 2 = 4, but if you multiply both sides of that equation by a big number, that's no longer true.

You know, the very same scenario I pulled from your comment?

It's not the same issue. I was talking to GPT about the strings 2 * 2 * x and 4 * x, not the multiplied-out versions.
