>>13698385Do you even understand what the parentheses are for?
You don't need parentheses when just writing the expression a+b since + is an operation taking two items, in this case a and b. You only need them when you add more items. There are two a priori different ways to add three items a,b,c: first add a and b, and then add c, written as (a+b)+c and to a and the result of adding b and c, written as a+ (b+c).
Your "justification" for dropping the parentheses for a term like (a+b) is so ridiculous as to be beyond parody.
You might just as well apply you argument to 1 + 2/(1+1)= 1+2/1+1=1+2+1=3.
