  man - man + man = woman
  woman - woman + woman = man
  => man = woman

Yes? Thats what I've said lol. That's what the above example shows. THAT WAS THE ENTIRE POINT

I'm glad you finally decided to agree with me. But it would have been a lot faster had you actually read my comments.

Except you were suggesting it's due to the definition of +, and your silly, irrelevant rant about abstract algebra started when I noted it's plain old addition.

It holds for integers too, floating point arithmetic quirks are irrelevant.

You are applying a bunch of ideas that are irrelevant because you don't have any idea how embedding models actually work.
