What you've written does not confirm your absurdity (a=b =/=> a^2=b^2), it only shows that from a^2 = b^2 your cannot conclude that a = b.

Are you really that silly or is this just your usual hypocrisy? Both?

 If you were intelligent, you would understand that our discussion isn't simply about a=b and therefore a²=b².
 There must be something more "complex" to understand.
 We continue: i²=-1.

Huh? The war in Ukraine? Why even bring that up in this specific context? Humm... ;^o
