You cannot have a uniformly distributed random number between 0 and infinity. IMO, this is the "flaw" in the argument.

Yeah, I was going to put in parenthesis "(whatever that means"), but I thought it was redundant with me saying the problem becomes weird. It does not present a flaw in my argument, because I gave the finite case, and the problem remains undefined for the infinite case.

EDIT: Just realized that you're probably referring to the original post. BTW, "problem becomes weird" is a technical term [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
