It was a race against time over here, every second counts when you are 
trying to head off a bug which leaks INFINITY CYCLES.  Oh sure, you 
monday morning quarterbacks can make your air quotes around 
"correctness" but statistically speaking my decisive action must have 
saved some very small but finite positive number of people from hitting 
that loop, and that number * infinity == infinity, so therefore not only 
was it the right thing to do, it was INFINITELY RIGHT.

And now that I have infinite karma you better watch out because I no 
longer need abide by society's constraints.
