Puzzling as to point. As a fervent noncalculator (all theorems, no numbers), 
I am unclear just what "beyond calculation" means here. Not apparently, 
"incalculable," since even my pocket calculator gives values for both of 
these -- approximations, of course, but that suggests that real values are 
available (though infinitely long, I suppose). Somehow inadmissible, like 
division by 0? But again ... . Such that the distinction between fractions 
and not does not apply? Does any of this say that the presented proof is not 
a proof?
