By using 0, instead of "a snowballs chance in hell" or "nothing" or "jack shit" or "nada", I removed the subjectivity of the concept in question, and the potential for mis-communication by way of removing colloquialisms, words specific to a certain langauge, or slang.
You are saying math can reduce our subjectivity to zero. We must agree to disagree. It comes close. We still remain subjective in our awareness. No amount of math can change that. It is better than any approach we have I certainly agree.
