"Doesn't violate the simple fact, however, that both +2 and -2 squared equal 4."

Hmm, you seem to be dancing around so fast you have stopped making sense.

The sentence "The square root of 4 is +2." means there is only one square root. The "The" nails that down. Now, if you wanted to say +2 is just one of the possibilities, a proper sentence would be "A square root of 4 is +2".
