| Oct 1, 2021 at 7:02 | comment | added | cinico | 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? | |
