Infinite numbers are numbers. Infinity is not a real number, but it is a hyperreal number, and thus a number.

I wish I could say that I was surprised, but to those not mired in mathematical sophistry... infinity is the furthest concept from a number... it has no known practical use, renders numerical comparisons and operations meaningless, and destroys all numbers to which it comes into contact. If anything, I would sooner accept that it is an anti-number. :)

That's a slightly bigger concept.
All numbers are concepts.
All numbers are concepts
But some numbers are more conceptual
And infinity still isn't a number
Yes, but not all concepts are numbers
