No. 1+1=2 because that's how mathematics work. Each "1" in this case represents a clearly defined drop of water with a clearly defined volume/mass. When you put "1" and "1" together, they merge into "2", a bigger drop of water with their cumulated volume/mass. No perspective involved.

Mathematics are stranger to perspectives, as is the physical reality in general. Interpretations never change the facts, no matter how you look at it. Which is a good thing, otherwise each new perspective would invalidate everything we learned, and we'd be forever stuck in the Stone Age ^ ^; Progress requires stability, after all. Rejecting the existence of objective truth would reduce all existence into a primal quantum soup.

And no, hypocrisy/manipulation are the correct words, anything more would be a perspectivist distortion of the facts :P
