Right, but I was just trying to state it simply in layman's terms. The point is, there are constructs/situations/whatever in which that value is valid, and not only is it valid, but actually used in real world calculations in some form. But in retrospect I should at least be more technical in a critical thinking board lol.

For me, many concepts regarding infinity are not that difficult to accept or comprehend, but this is just something that is totally absurd and ridiculous no matter how I visualize it in my head.
