Why would it be illegitimate? Is Zeta(-1) more or less illegitimate?
- yarg 4y agoAny finite value when multiplied by zero, results in zero - unlike any other multiplication with real numbers it is a lossy operation and cannot be reversed. Taking division as an anti-function of multiplication, 0/0 could mean any value - positive, negative, finite, infinite, infinitessimal or zero itself. For all other numerators the value of x/0 goes beyond not having a single defined result - there simply is no value 'y' such that y * 0 = x and there is no meaning whatsoever to be drawn.
