No, you went out of order and have been destined to the end of the line...

a = b
a^2 = ab
a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2
(a + b)(a - b) b(a - b) //cancel out (a-b)
a + b = b
b + b = b //substitue b for a
2b = b
2 = 1 //cancel out the b
Therefore using a simple application of mathematical induction, all the integers are equal.
Therefore, everyone here has simply posted the same number over and over again so all of you lose.
This has been your fallacious math argument for the day.
