Turns out I’m wrong, but I haven’t been told how or why. I’m willing to learn if people actually tell me

Well, I don't know what you said originally, so I don't know what it is you were told was wrong - 1 or 16? 😂 The correct answer is 1.

Anyhow, I have an order of operations thread which covers literally everything there is to know about it (including covering all the common mistakes and false claims made by some). It includes textbook references, historical Maths documents, worked examples, proofs, memes, the works! I'm a high school Maths teacher/tutor - I've taught this topic many times.
