With a suitable resolution, any number that is NOT zero IS distinguishable from zero.
I stole that concept from a description of the SR-71 Blackbird, with is NOT black, but rather "a special shade of blue that is visually indistinguishable from black".

In total non-support of my statement, a basic tenet of quantum mechanics is that there is finite resolution to all measurements, beyond which one cannot go without altering reality and the basic substructure of the Universe.

I stand by my belief that my proof of the non-existence of life is as valid as any proof offered in the OP.
