I didn't intend any hostility, the world is just nuanced and really fun. I often see assertions of rules of thumb presented as factual statements without any hint of further complexity existing and it makes me sad as people read that and think the world is simple and makes sense.

It's much more true to say something like "usually we can't divide by zero" and that leaves room for someone curious to go "huh!" and scurry off on their own and learn something fascinating.
