No, but you are becoming trapped in qualitative or at most 'boolean ' 
thinking - i.e. 'zero energy' or 'energy' rather than 'energy so 
insignificant its not worth raising a fuss about'

Asa I said, this is unusual in technical people, but de rigueur for 
'ArtStudents™ and of course the political Left to whom mathematics and 
the notion of quantity is dull, boring and to be ignored and left to 
'techies' 'nerds' and 'swots' :-)
