We dont care about outsider theory, our **repeated** *personal* 
**experience** is that nan passed to a graphics api is a no op 
and its one of the slowest thing to debug. adr ran into it on 
camera, steve-l guy teachs kids raylib and sees the repeat again 
and again, etc etc etc etc

C dev's reading a spec and dreaming has less evidential weight 
then a new programmer running into this once.
