0 = 0
(x+y) (x-y)=y(x-y)
(x+y) (0) = y(0)
(x+y) (x-y)/(x-y)=y(x-y)/(x-y)
(x+y) (0)/(0) = y(0)/(0)
Two problems.
You can never multiply anything by zero and get anything BUT zero. So division by zero performed on a non-zero value has no answer.
Zero divided by zero can equal absolutely any number, ANY number, period.
I would more generally advocate that one only leave one entrance into their mind(reason), and keep the rest of it rather closed, as it is one hell of a lot easier to shovel shit in than it is to get it out.
If the evidence and reason for you to believe something isn't really any better than the reason you should believe some rural farmer from Arkansas got anally probed by interstellar visitors, then you probably shouldn't.
