If I really wanted to, I could say that the only Truth beyond all assumption is "Oneness" or the Absolute Reality of Brahman, but that Ultimate Truth is only experiential and cannot be known or understood through the rational mind.

However, because I am relating subjective truths on the internet, in the causal world of Maya and using the language of extensive, mutual understanding, all I can say is...so, 1+1 isn't 2 then? how did you work that one out? and if 1+1 is NOT 2, then what is it?

I could also say, 'show me a dog that is also a cat and I will believe you' or 'if Washington is not the capital of the USA, what is?' etc

Having said that, this image keeps popping in my mind, but one can clearly see it is a cat:
