Isn't that a bad analogy? By saying that infinity - infinity can be anything - anything, you basically equate infinity to anything, which is false.

Subtracting infinity from infinity yields a result depending on the "degree" of infinity, for example the limit of (x^2 - x) as x goes to infinity is infinity, but the limit of (x^2 - x^3) as x goes to infinity is negative infinity. Usually, subtracting infinity from infinity will yield infinity, negative infinity, or zero. I'm trying to think of a case if it could be a finite number.
