I've already learned something from him that should have been obvious to me: the necessity of specifying whether "line" has directionality. There are fields where this distinction is absolutely crucial: think of the "world-line" in relativity theory for example. Causality, as far as we can tell, is uni-directional.

10^∞ = ∞
10^∞ is not an integer, and it is not finite. There's no contradiction here. Try naming one integer that isn't finite. You can't.
