THey are invariable, but infinite. No finite entity approaches the infinite.

THe fact that you think it should, just shows you don't understand what 
infinity is, and that you are too stupid to understand your stupidity.

There is no rule of logic that actully says that because no finite set 
of items reaches 1% of another that the full infinite set of them won't.

This just shows that you are the poster child for Dunning-Kruger.

You don't seem to understand what "potential" infinity actually means, 
or even the definition of a "set", as the set of FISONs *IS* a fixed 
quantity, not something that changes. We my "discover" more elements as 
we run the generative method, but they were always there.

I guess in your mind "truth" just isn't an established fact, but changes 
depending on where and how you look, so you "logic" just blows itself, 
and you ability to think, to smithereens on the inconsistancies you 
generate.
