That just proves that it does, you can do that with a couple of oranges and a box (illustratively rather than mathematically)....not why it does.
Are there any proofs that say 1=2 for example?

Actually it's the other way around. The mathematical proof proves the "why", the illustrative proves the "it just does".
Does it? Surely it only demonstrates that it does and the mechanism that it follows which makes it true...not the why 1+1 must equal 2.......
