> and IDK why it is so hard to talk clearly about finance

Because unlike in engineering, in finance, conservation of "energy"/"money" allows arbitrary creation of negative money to cancel out arbitrary created positive money.

We pretend money is a real thing you can have, but it's actually more like one of the two opposite poles of magnet.

It's a game with made up rules, not a natural consistent system.
