This was discussed at some length in the past (and even with just as much maths, as I remember). The answer to your query is, yes, you're right. The solution to the problem is, does it matter? I'd say there are a lot more unrealistic situations (dreadful grammar...) created by the rules than that one.
Still, good start. Let's see how many more of the old topics you can restart :-)
