Infinite vs unlimited finite

Hi, I would like to say that an infinite number is exactly the same as an unlimited finite number. In fact, an unlimited number is not finite - it has no limit, so its values are infinite. What you changed does not really matter, but I just want to say it :P Latias1290 (talk)

(lurker...) Technically, the number isn't infinite, its just too damn big to even make a dent if you place several thousand. The number is, by necessity, capped by memory, as each mechanism occupies a separate space in memory. The game would freeze long before you reached that threshold, however.--Doktoro Reichard (talk) 22:24, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
