    Yes, that's pretty much the idea.
A singularity is a mathematical term, it's describing something about the behaviour of functions.  Physicist's have stolen it and now some people use the term "singularity" as if it's a real place or thing in the universe.

   When mathematician's say "there's a singularity here" they are telling you how functions behave in that region.

   When Physicist's say "there's a singularity here" there are always people who think it's a thing or a place you can find.

Yes, I think you're right.  Modern physics is getting increasingly led away from physical reality,  into mere mathematical abstractions.  Which look good on paper, but contradict actual experience.

I think this started with Einstein.  His ideas don't make sense as a rational explanation.

;) Naah, mathematics are abstractions modeling reality. It's what we use to describe it, and physics and even your laptop (if that is your preference here) builds on it. At the extreme end it may all become a abstraction, just like thoughts.
