You're confusing mathematical theory with the observable events that support it and give it practical uses.
It's no good to just say '2 plus 2 will always equal 4 in the theory of maths' if the situation I described earlier arises in which two items are added to two like items and another item is created, resulting in five items. No-one will care if 2+2=4 is correct 'in theory' and can be proven 'in theory' if it doesn't actually work that way in the observable universe.
