Was the massive downvote here because I didn’t include enough information about how this is mathematically impossible, or because people don’t agree that one should speak with precision, or because people don’t like me pointing out that one should speak with precision?
I didn’t downvote you, but my guess is that you were perceived to be impolite about your failure (deliberate or inadvertent) to get the point of the original remark. Neither missing the point nor being impolite tend to be looked on favorably.

Technically, you didn’t point out that one should speak with precision. Therefore, your entire question is indecipherable gibberish.
