Who is making stuff up? It's not like only one person on the planet says the answer is "2". As I have said several times now, which you seem to ignore, there is even debate as to what the correct answer is in the mathematics community. There is no debate that the equation is poorly written and ambiguous.
If the "rules" were as black and white as you want them to be, the equation would not be poorly written or ambiguous at all.
