I considered deleting the post, but this seems more cowardly than just admitting I was wrong. But TIL something!

Your example introduces the axis of time which is not in consideration when discussing infinity. You're literally removing infinity from the equation by doing that because "at any given point" by definition is not infinity. Let's say that point is 1 million bills down the line. Now you're comparing 1,000,000 x 100 vs 1,000,000 x 1, nothing to do with infinity
