...but he's speaking of memory, an item which has to be enumerated in
order to be measured.  Thus, unbounded memory is infinite memory.

Oh, and for an equally technical nit-pick: contrary to your claim, none of
the numbers in the range between 0.0 and 1.0 are infinite.  The
cardinality of the set, OTOH, is infinite and unbounded.
