Folks;
Personally, I'd rather hear empty array jokes, but I don't own this forum.
I did find the following:
datatype each (];-;%)1
┌───────┬───────┬────────┐
│boolean│integer│floating│
└───────┴───────┴────────┘
I don't find this worrisome. Why should I?

I believe
negative_zero=:64{.1
satisfies this constraint
and your statements:

then either you contradict yourself or one of your statements
invalidates the premises of the discussion.
I do not see the contradiction (with myself, nor with the
premises of the discussion).
