In telecommunications, sometimes when there's
more than a 10:1 source/channel ratio, it's
said there are "effectively infinite sources",
then the opposite of that is called "limited".
Being effectively infinite then 1/x = 0,
and simplifies many formulas.
The, "almost all", or, "almost everywhere",
does _not_ equate to "all" or "everywhere",
and these days in sub-fields of mathematics
like to do with topology and the ultrafilter,
it's a usual conceit to in at least one
sense, not being "actually" correct.
