this one is deceiving. I assume this is using an infinite series? It's like the fact that if you added up all positive numbers together, the answer is -1/12. Yes, it's negative one twelfth.
Now, while mathematically true, it doesn't mean you can add up all numbers and get that because you can't add up all numbers, they're infinite.
Same with that series, it's a misleading way of phrasing it using a mathematical proof of an infinite series.

Now that one actually blows my mind. I'm going to have to look up that proof and see if I can undertstand it.
