But that is your problem. You need to use the finite-logic that know how 
to handle the infinite, not the finite-logic based on the properties of 
only the finite.

The finite-logic that knows the properties of the infinite, turns out to 
only be able to handle what you call "potential infinity" as logic that 
is inherently finite can use actually infinite entities, as they are too 
big for it.

This was discovered a few millenium ago, but you seem to be a bit behind 
in your studies.
