Imagine or understand?
One could imagine 2+2=4 without understanding it (just as one can imagine many
things,
without understanding why it works.)
Can a person imagine '2+2=5'? Very likely. Especially if the person happens to
be the
current occupant of the White House. Asides from that, there are many examples
in which one
can imagine something is true, yet it's logically wrong (for example, most of
Christianity).
