I think the reason why this is indeed pretty crazy is that the resistance
of a device is the property which causes it to dissipate energy (if I may
use the expression) when there is a current in it. (This is the physical
meaning of resistance, regardless of whether the device is ohmic or not.)
When emf's are introduced then there are other energy conversion processes,
and V/I is no longer linked to *dissipation*.
