The qualification "essentially" is troubling - what does it mean?
Operationally, when you are doing calculations,
0-forms and scalars are interchangeable.
The distinction is epistemological: 0-forms
are defined in terms of scalars, not the other
way around.
(This is splitting hairs, but if I hadn't put
that qualification in there, I 'spect somebody
would have called me on it.)
