What contradiction(s?) as implied by the "may not be consistent" arises due to the allowance of coefficients?

The monomials in one unknown X are therefore the powers Xⁿ for n = 0, 1, 2,...

Doesn't that "0" imply that coefficients are permitted?

It implies that 1 is a monomial.

Right, right, I was just coming back to remove my dumb comment :)

'Diverge' - an English subjunctive, no?

Oh. Sorry. Didn't realize it was subjunctive.
