Disproving 2+2=5 is not proving a negative, it is disproving a statement. Don't you have teachers? Or have the found your prancing so deterimental to the other students they have asked you to remain silent?

Logic. Designating a proposition that denies agreement between a subject and its predicate.
Therefore, the statement "2+2 is not equal to 4" is, by definition, a disproven negative.
