If aa and bb are nonzero real numbers such that ∣a∣≠∣b∣\left| a \right| \ne \left| b \right|, compute the value of the expression (b2a2+a2b2−2)×(a+bb−a+b−aa+b)×(1a2+1b21b2−1a2−1b2−1a21a2+1b2)\left(\frac{b^2}{a^2}+\frac{a^2}{b^2}-2\right)\times\left(\frac{a+b}{b-a}+\frac{b-a}{a+b}\right)\times\left(\frac{\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}}{\frac{1}{b^2}-\frac{1}{a^2}}-\frac{\frac{1}{b^2}-\frac{1}{a^2}}{\frac{1}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}}\right)
