A point-to-able something may be much too small to be optically resolved into its constituent polyhedral characteristics, yet be unitarily differentiated as a black speck against a white background. Because a speck existed yet defied their discernment of any feature, mathematicians of the premicroscope era mistakenly assumed a speck to be self-evidently unitary, indivisible, and geometrically employable as a nondimensional “point.” (See Secs. 262.02-05, 264, 257.25, and 530.11.)
