Sorry, are you familiar with the mathematical concept of limit? Saying that "f(x) goes to zero as x goes to zero" does not imply the nonsensical belief that "x goes to zero".
Yes, I am familiar with limits. What I mean is - if you say "f(x) goes to zero as x goes to zero", then you are implying (in a non-mathematical sense) that we are evaluating f(x) in a region about zero - that is, we are interested in the behavior of f(x) close to x=0.
Edit: More to the point, if I say "g(f(x)) goes to zero as f(x) goes to infinity", then f(x) better not be (known to be) bounded above.
