"Ours goes up to infinity plus one.  It's one louder." - Nigel Tufnel

But you're right I don't think theres any pure math that says "infinite" 
implies "cannot expand" -- consider the mapping of the real numbers to 
the real numbers:
    x <- 2*x

Infinite? Yes.
Expanding? Yes.

So probably the OP left out a few details.  :-)
