If you get to the stage of the inseam being 0, do you not just get a very short skirt?

Nope Mouse that's underwear, such as some girls seem to think are shorts these days.
Max inseam I'll wear is 2", my motto, if you've got it, flaunt it!

Mouse is correct. Zero inseam makes it a skirt.

I beg to differ.
The in seam measurement is the distance from the crotch to the bottom of the shorts or pants/trousers.
Even at 0 there is still a crotch so there is bifurcation. By that token how can it possibly be a skirt?
I got to say that my original comment was meant light heartedly.

I think you have to define what a zero length seam is. If it is nothing, then there is no crotch and therefore no bifurcation in the garment, therefore the garment is a skirt. I rest my case.

Methinks we're getting dangerously close to contemplating an infinitesimal here, and the human mind does not process either the vastness of infinity or the minuteness of infinitely small very well. This has caused innumerable arguments over the course of history.

In other words, "I'm not going to get dragged into this fray!"

Ah but my learned friend, we have the accepted definition as stated above.
The key word is "crotch", not the measurement.
I present this as corroboratory evidence Safe to say there is no inseam, a defined crotch and clearly labelled as shorts.
That concludes my rebuttal.

I am happy to agree to disagree. I would suggest it is like contemplating one's navel except that is over 150mm away.

IMHO, by the example in the picture, it's a very small rebuttal
(I think I've seen larger band aids than this.)
