LOL not sure if that made it any clearer. Let me check first if I 
understood you by taking out some ifs:
Scenario 1
Set "Conversion from text to number" to "Generate #VALUE! error" 
disables "Treat empty string as zero"
Result: [empty string] in a calculation > error

Scenario 2
Set "Conversion from text to number" to "Treat as zero" disables "Treat 
empty string as zero"
(I'm assuming that makes sense somehow, that both scenarios disable 
"Treat empty string as zero" though somehow my gut says this should be 
"enables")
Result: [empty string] in a calculation > turns into zero

This options determines how empty strings are handled in calculations. 
If empty strings are set to result in an error, this option is disabled. 
If empty strings are set to be treated as a zero, this option is enabled.

Hm ok I'll ignore it then, thanks for the explanation!
