"Before time" is incoherent nonsense, much like "a cause of causation". And the quote is self-contradictory, both asserting "the beginning of time" an...

It would seem so. Your comments are still off topic. Back to the topic here: We can prove that all the procedure does here is give us 0, decimal point...
