I reckon addition is a basic skill. But can it be proved?
How?
How?
in math, addition is DEFINED to go along with how we feel the world works.

That you can't prove addition?

One cannot "prove addition". It simply doesn't make sense as a sentence in the English Language.
The OP was aksed to "prove red" and he didn't (though he appears to think he did). He gave a "definition" of red. That in itself doesn't "prove" red. What does prove even mean in that context?
