I can cut at an angle and get anything in between (i.e. two 6' long 2x4s with pointed ends). I could even cut two 10' long triangle wedges if the 10' 2x4 was cut on a diagonal. I make no claims that anything I cut will be straight though.  My point is I'm not assuming anything about how we may or may not cutup and use any of the material on the list.

Well, of course, but wouldn't it be a bit silly for FIRST to have us buy 2x4s only to make them into 2x2s?
I was just pointing out that you can't get two 5' 2x4s from a 10' 2x4, but even that's not true, apparently. As with their width and height, I'm told, 10' lumber is actually not 10'. It's a bit longer. Or so says the guy who works at Home Depot.
(This is why I hate lumber.)
