@lcamtuflcamtuf :verified: :verified: :verified: Yeah, Infinity doesn't exist. It's a concept that is useful for talking about, well, asymptotic situations. :D

That's the point. An asymptote does not reach the finite number it approaches, but we like to talk about it as if it really happened. It's like if we had a word for the day when "Free Beer Tomorrow" actually gets you a free beer.
