Your meme doesn't work in the age of floating point numbers.

Suggestion: "1.0/x for x>0→0.0 goes against infinity, so 1.0/0.0 is infinity."

Any sufficiently large number is indistinguishable from infinity.

Wait. Something's wrong...

O(n^m^) = O(1) for all n,m < infinity.

Floats are actually fairly limited in what they can do and you lose a lot of accuracy at some point
