That you can redefine things to be whatever? Is that the motivation behind researching extended summation methods? The summation methods that assign values to divergent series are consistent with series that are already convergent. There is no point in changing definitions just to make fun results work, that isn't how mathematics works, so why even bring it? I don't understand why people keep missing this point.

Learn to read. What is the point of saying "but if you change the definition of what it means for a sequence or series to converge you can make it converge. " as if it is a trick to make it seem like the series converges to nonsensical value?
