The square root of 4 is 2.
1102

Let us calculate the square root of 4.

Some propose that it may be 2. If we were to blindly trust them, we
could establish habits that could be used to undermine us. The habit
of blind trust can be easily defeated by a lie.

Then, let us be skeptical. Let us wonder if the square root of 4 might
be something other than 2. Or maybe, 2 could be only one square root
of 4.

How could we establish provenance? Constancy? Certaintude, with regard
to square roots here?

For there to be a square root, there must be a square, at least for
those who see the square root as the inverse of the square.

We can concede to our threats that we may agree on a square root being
the identification of numbers that, when squared, that is, when
multiplied by themselves, yield the quantity the square root is of.

Honestly I really thought that everybody knew that the square root of
4 was 2. Is this in question somehow?

Oh! We need to verify our facts, because we might be amongst
significant deception.

Well then!  How will we verify that the square root of 4 is 2?

Can we trust multiplication?

Can we trust squaring?

Can we trust the completeness of the line of numbers?

Now, me, I always thought that two times two was four, and negative
two times negative two was negative four, and that there was no other
way to multiply a number by itself to yield four, unless you
referenced some new unfamiliar division of mathematics!

I guess I'd wager that there almost certainly are such unfamiliar
divisions of mathematics that may yield further quantities that can
square to 4. I could, for example, make one up right now, invent a
fanciful "alepsis" quantity that squares to 1.0 and place it as a
cooefficient, thus making more square roots.

On excessive verbosity, we have found likelihood that, if 2 is a
square root of 4, that it is not, in fact the only square root of 4.
In fact, we have identified that -2 is also a square root of 4.

This brings us to raise suspicions against the proposition that 2 is
the "the" square root of 4! Someone is deceiving us! We have been
propaganda, misadvertised, misled, deluded, and gaslit. We are clearly
the victims of militory psychological operations!
