Double Integrity 
Copyright ©1997 by Paul Niquette. All rights reserved.
What is wrong with this mathematical monkey business?
A = B
A2 = AB
A2 - B2 = AB - B2
(A + B)(A - B) = B(A - B)
A + B = B
B + B = B
1 + 1 = 1
2 = 1
  No reason, just letting A = B.
  Multiplying both sides by A.
  Subtracting B2 from both sides.
  Factoring both sides.
  Dividing both sides by A - B
  Substituting A = B
  Dividing both sides by B.
