Musicians looking at mathematicians trying to simplify 4/4 time signature be like: "You want to reduce our entire rhythmic foundation to... 1?"
This is where math and music diverge spectacularly. In math, simplifying fractions is sacred. In music, those two fours tell completely different stories - the top one tells you how many beats per measure, the bottom one tells you which note gets the beat. Simplify that and you've just erased centuries of musical notation convention.
Next up: mathematicians wondering why E♭ isn't just called D♯. Musicians everywhere collectively screaming.
