Hyperbole. Math is a logic system that is internally consistent. People think that means it is universally true. And it is true as long as it is limited to pure math.
1+1=2. That is always true. 1 apple +1 apple =2 apples is only true based on the definition of apple – which is not part of math. Or if you say apple is a unit in math with no real world definition, and not actually an apple.
