I was just playing with the concept of 00 being undefined, and I came up with a couple of reasons. Would the steps taken in the attached image be considered correct in saying that 00 is undefined in that it can be either 0 or 1 depending on how you use/define 00? If they are incorrect, could someone please explain how so?

It can be a whole bunch of other stuff, not just 0 and 1.
