I'm not trying to be pedantic, but genuinely curious: when you say that there is a "non-zero overlap", is it merely a pleonasm (because overlap itself should indicate that it's non-zero) or is there some obscure field of mathematics/physics that has this weird cases that trained your mind to be specifically say when there is a non-zero overlap, in order to differentiate from those weird cases?

That's a nice comment @cinico, I think what I want to highlight here is the significant overlap between mathematics and physics, often hard to differentiate which is which and depends on perspective, compared to some other fields of physics where there is substantial use of mathematics but can't be classified as pure mathematics research.
