I don't know how you come to the conclusion that it is a mathematical
absurdity but consider this: If you find that common usage propagates
something that is incorrect, should we just shrug it off or should we
attemp a correction? There is always a chance that one day you find
yourself exposed to a learning curve while going through a document.
If you just depend on common usage you will probably draw the wrong
conclusion.
