"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
-Nietzsche

That may be true, but mathematics and biology are two different fields of science.
For an animal to be an amphibian, they have to meet an explicit set of requirements completely different from other classifications of animal. One cannot waltz up, use the transitive property a few times and say that mammals = amphibians (because by your theory, monkeys = mammals, mammals = animals, animals = amphibians), and have all the biologists change monkeys from mammals to amphibians. They would shake their heads and continue on with their work.
I have no doubt that you're a smart guy and have a math degree, but I simply refuse to believe this applies here. Well you see my degree is a bachelor of science, so that makes me also a scientist. Thus I have authority on all things mathematical and scientific, except on matters of computer science.
