Wait, what happened in the second to last bullet point? You can't convert a power like that when subtracting (you can when dividing).
It's like you'd convert "2^4 - 2" into "2^(4-1)", which gives two different results (14 vs 8).
For those curious, I threw 🥤^i - 🥤 = 3 into wolfram.
🥤 ≈ -2.97983 + 0.0388569 i... or 🥤 ≈ 0.27972 - 0.748461 i...
You're right, idk what I was thinking there 😕
