It's not a "natural" order of operations. Why in the world would you think that we more often add before multiplying instead of vice versa? That's such a weird claim

Did you just read the last sentence and not the rest of the comment? I went pretty in depth about what I mean by it. I don't think we more often add before multiply, I know we must solve multiplication before doing addition and vice versa is the wrong way to do it, unless there's something else, like parenthesis, stating a different order of operations.
