Except algebra said that about algebraic functions and operators. I know a CS major who insisted in pointing out the same thing. He was extremely surprised when dragons hatched from his eggs instead of the chickens he expected. It was a really heated event. He barely escaped -- and then ranted for several weeks how they were really just eggs and couldn't explain what happened.
