No, I think you're misreading/misunderstanding.
Flex values are not compatible with lengths; you can't add them together. But you *can* use flex values in an expression with lengths, so long as you never actually combine it with a length value in a way that uses type addition. So `1fr / 1fr * 1px` is completely valid (final type `{flex: 0, length: 1}`, matches `<length>`), but `1fr + 1px` is invalid (type addition notices each has non-zero types that aren't present in the other, so fails).
> So you suggest the result of the example to be 50px, 50px, 0 due to the two fr units cancelling each other out?
That is what I'd *naively* expect, and it might be reasonable to fix the spec to allow it, yes. I haven't been able to fully think it thru yet, tho.
