I thought that temperature can never actually be zero or it creates a division problem or something similar. I'm no ML or math expert, just repeating what I've heard.

The semantic web never took off because companies don't want to make their content easy to scrape. Just look at how they salivate for WASM where everything is closed up and inaccessible, including a11y.
