Prove that
log(1+2+3)= log1+ log2+log3
-----------
log(6) = 0 + log(2*3)
log(6) = log(6)
-----------------
That's a "special case."
log(a + b + c) <> log(a) + log(b) + log(c) in general.

This is a special case because
+1+%2B+2+%2B+3+=+1%2A2%2A3+
+log%281%29+%2B+log%282%29+%2B+log%283%29+=+log%28+1%2A2%2A3+%29+
+log%28+1%2A2%2A3+%29+=+log%28+6+%29+
and
+log%28+1+%2B+2+%2B+3+%29+=+log%28+6+%29+
