There's probably no difference between
genuine infinity and fake infinity until they are both defined more precisely.

If you define infinity precisely in a way that proceeds to a paradox, then it is going to be hard to prove...I can't dispute that!

A useful definition of infinity could
stem from its apparent etymology...not finite...not countable. What makes a thing uncountable is having insufficient information.
The more information we have, the greater control we have over variables. The less information we have to establish ranges for our variables, the closer to infinity is the result of running the equation with our variables.
Does this make sense to Luis, whoever you are?
