Oh but they do!
Wrong = Negative
Right = Positive
when ever dealing with negativity we always seem to multiply.

Negative x Negative = Positive
Wrong x Wrong = Right
2Wrong = Right

Summed: 1 wrong + 1 wrong = 2 wrongs

Multiplied: 1 wrong x 1 wrong = 1 wrong^2 (or 1 right maybe)

There are two groups of one wrongs, not one group of one wrongs.
If you need to multiply then you need to multiply 2 (n) x 1 wrong (1 wrong multiplied by a constant i.e. 2) = 2 wrongs.

Sorry Tyranus but you are wrong.

huh?

Toottoot read the first bit, I clearly defined a wrong as a negative and a right as a positive, and -2*-2=4, a negative *a negative = a positive.

Yes that bit is right. Its the multiplying bit I dont agree with - you need to add

Seriously... turning wrongs and rights into mathematics? On a scale of 1 to 10, I score this argument a violet
