You could just as easily have said: You can’t subtract large numbers from smaller numbers because that’s not “natural math”. Extending beyond that will not impact “natural math”. I am pointing out that calling something “arithmetic” in a narrow sense, then declaring that extended concepts can’t be handled within your previous narrow definition is just a tautology of terminology choice. Yes, a change is a change. And an extension is an extension.
