omega,
If you're looking at the line on a very technical basis, then it does
say 0/255.0 = 1.0 at one point, but just like you can't read a word in a
sentence and expect to understand the whole paragraph, you need to look at
it differently. I think even though it says
255/255.0, 255/255.0, 0/255.0 = 1.0, 1.0, 0.0
You could take it with a grain of salt and instead interpret it as
( 255/255.0, 255/255.0, 0/255.0 ) = ( 1.0, 1.0, 0.0 )
If this is true, then 0/255.0 = 0.0, which is correct.
I'm not sure if you truly didn't see this or if you are just trying to
prove a point about clarity in e-mails. Anyway, I hope this clears things
up.
