For someone to give the answer of '4' to the question 'what is 2 + 2?', I
again say that there is nothing necessary and sufficient here to require
the memeset of <addition>.

And I again say, that the job of memetics (as a scientific discipline) is
first to define the specific behavioral situation where a meme _is_ a
necessary and sufficient condition.

And 2 + 2 = 4 ain't it.
