If I have an effectively infinite amount of homework to do, then doing any finite portion of work w which is less than all of the work will yield w/∞ which clearly goes to zero. So, really, why bother?

(This is about when sanguinity_, were she here, would be shouting "You can't do that!" and sputtering like Donald Duck)

You began with an approximate assumption...

...Which makes the whole thing so ridiculous that it's not even worth my time to splutter over your abuse of limits.

Stop trying to bait your friends, young man, and go do your homework!

Opression!

See, it's always the same: mathematicians tryin' to keep the physicists down.
