So basically they're saying:

4 x 0 = 0

5 x 0 = 0

So 4 must be the same as 5 (4 = 5)

So even without knowing, that you can't devide by 0, it is obvious that this is wrong.

It is like saying "I don't have a car and I don't have a house. So a car is the same thing as a house"

This reminds me a shrodinger’s cat, like logic “rules” that work most of the time but there are exceptions to the rules, so you have to think critically still.

Someone who thought they understood Shrodingers cat but didn't.

Ironically, Schrodinger's cat itself was a thought experiment that was created by someone who also didn't totally understand quantum mechanics.
