This thread seemed to me to have had an indeterminate ending. From my knowledge of calculus 0/0 is a fundamental ratio which can in fact mean anything. In other words 0/0 could mean one or it could mean two depending on the continuing nature of the function at hand. Therefore:

2*(0/0)=(0/0) could be simplified to

2*(1) =(2)

This is not so absurd afterall.
