from Silk contains these words:

You can't have infinite steps because if you, for example, double
the ratio, you would have to multiply infinity by 2, and that's
impossible.

Nonsense. You can multiply infinity by anything you like (apart from
zero, of course), it just comes out as infinity again. Just a bigger
infinity.

You can multiply it by zero as well.

Yeah, but what would be the point in doing that?
All that calculation for nothing. :-)

Not at all. Infinity times zero can be any number.

Consider: 3/0=infinity.
now (3/0) * 0 is obviously 3, because the zeros cancel out...;-)
