Isn't it easiest to answer problems like this with paradoxes?
But anyhow, if it is infinite, then it is possible for (∞-1)>∞ to be true.
So it is a finite number.  But it is the largest finite number possible.  
Well, either that, or the most unknown finite number possible (depending on
whether you consider "infinite" to mean unimaginably large, or simply an
unkown variable.  But I don't really see the difference between relative
infinity, and absolute infinity, so I don't think there's a difference)
