"defining division by zero as zero is OK" And those mathematicians should be classed as wrong. If you treat zero as nothing, a value divided nothing does not make it magically disappear, it should just cancel out the mathematical operation. So 1/0 should be 1, 42/0=42 and so on. Otherwise to apply their logic, a*0=0 would have to be applied. Again if you take a value and multiply it with nothing, it should cancel out the maths operation. It is possible for whole areas of a science to follow down the wrong rabbit whole, medical science best shows this over the last 100-200yrs since scientific equipment has improved and the current thinking about something in the body has changed when new discoveries appear that contradict. Maths is not untouchable either, especially considering the fact Big G and the speed of light varies. Check out Rupert Sheldrakes of Cambridge Uni talks on this subject. The official bodies response was to mandate G and speed of light is now constant when its not.
