Actually not
inject 1A at A with B open. and draws out 1A at the 'edge" (infinite
point or ring of all points equidistant from both A and B) which you
can call ground as it doesn't matter.
and finds the voltage drop between A and B.
Then inject -1A at B with A open and draws out 1A at the 'edge"
and find the voltage between A and B
Summing the two cases the result is the same as if the current source
was connected between A and B with the 'edge" open
there will be no current drawn out from the edge. It's easy to use
infinity but this is simply a way of stating equidistance from A and B
in order to call on symmetry. Errors will be in the order of 0.25% for
distance AB being about 1% of distances from both to the edge.

Ok, that clarifies your point. Except, in Kelly's method, it's not
tied to ground at infinity.
The problem is to determine the resistance between two nodes, A and B,
which are a finite distance apart. The method injects 1 amp of
current at A and grounds B.
