According to how you quoted him, Infinity is a number outside of the numeric system that we usually use and that therefore none of the axiomes that we have in place affect it. Am I correct in phrasing that?
If you read my post, you'd see that L'Hôpital's rule tells you how to deal with indeterminate limits. Actually, he didn't do any of the work, if memory serves me right.

Infinity is not a number, as has been stated before. Since it isn't a number, it can't be used in mathematical operations.
