Has mathematics fallen into the same hole as philosophy

The article at this link is titled

Dividing the indivisible.

http://plus.maths.org/content/dividing-indivisible

A g;lance at the contents reveals it to be about dividing goods between two parties, like divorcing people.
I got excited to see the headline, it harks back to the beginning of religion, philosophy, and mathematics when the point of inquiry was simply to figure out what the heck is going on.

In fact the phrase

Dividing the indivisible

refers to an experiential investigation of the edge of the visible and invisible. You keep dividing something into smaller parts, and you find, unexpectedly, that logic reaches an edge. A worthy path to follow but it is not easier with inane applications.
