Stalemate rules mean that a player in a heavily disadvantaged position still has the opportunity to play for a draw, whether that comes from their own clever play or a mistake from their opponent (what happened in the comic).

My issue with pointing out the math error is that it isn’t even the actual problem - the entire concept is based on the incoherent idea that having a trade deficit is inherently a bad thing for some reason. The entire formula is junk, not just the one variable.
