So you accept 1 == 2? Go ahead, then. :-) > A real-world example where you really do want to operate on > infinities is when you want to compare slopes of lines.

You can certainly correctly make assertions about the relationships of infinities. That's not the same as operating on infinities, eg. dividing by infinity getting a defined result.
