Mickey Mouse problem

An example that illustrates a solution but is not actually accuate or proof of the theory.
"2 x 2 = 4 and 2 + 2 = 4, therefore multiplication is the same thing as addition."

Even though 2 x2 DOES equal 4, it is a solution that just happens to fit but is not proof that multiplication is the same thing as addition, since multiplying two values usually results in a figure much different than adding those two values (such as 2 x 20 = 40, but 2 + 20 = 22).

Usage: "No sorry, that doesn't prove anything. That's just a Mickey Mouse problem."

Mickel

Someone who only brags about how tall he is. IF you are taller than 5 feet he will piss his pants and run because he knows he isnt tough enough at all to even try and fight you. Also, his head probably will make up his entire height.

p2: yeah, all he brags about is he is 3 cm taller than us
p1: yeah, such a mickel
