I don't think there's an explanation that doesn't make this copilot's fault. Honestly JavaScript shouldn't allow math between numbers and strings in the first place. "1" + 1 is not a number, and there's already a type for that: NaN
Regardless, the sum should be 5 if the first cell is text, so it's incorrect either way.
You can explicitly type values in more recent versions of JavaScript to avoid this, if you really don't want to let concatenation be the default. So, again, this feels like an oversight in integration rather than strict formal logic.
