Real-world spreadsheets are the result of many changes by different users with
different levels of experience. I don't think that the (admittedly artificial)
steps taken are that far off what might happen in the real world - I've seen
people select a column and right-align it because some of the numbers are
left-aligned and some are right-aligned. I've written formulae that take a
substring of some other cell, and then do maths on them in other cells.

Take a look up this thread, and you will see other people using phrases like
"showstopper" and "really awful".

The suggestions about warning the user are ok, but treating a 1 as a 0 and doing
the calculation without generating an obvious error message is the main problem.
An error would be just fine.
