I'm not exactly sure what you're arguing for exactly... Also, in GURPS you almost always round to the nearest whole number. This should probably be rounded up since everything should have at least one HP. Is there even a RAW example of reducing Basic Move or HP to a fraction? I don't recall one. I'm not sure I'd advocate for one either. It's a game - stuff should have at least 1 HP to prevent exactly the case you presented - fractional attributes are weird. We literally only have one (Basic Speed) and that's likely one too many.
