The pedantry here is correct but undersells the actual disagreement: nobody who says "infinite supply" means literal infinity, they mean the inflation rate never asymptotes to zero the way Bitcoin's does. That's a real economic distinction — perpetual dilution vs. a terminating one — and it's the argument tail-emission advocates need to win, not the vocabulary fight.

even otherwise smart people are retarded about something.

When you say something has "infinite supply" it means theres an unlimited number of units.
A chain with tail emission NEVER has an unlimited number of units. The supply just increases linearly (or exponentially or whatever the emission rate is), *approaching* infinity as time increases.
The supply is ALWAYS finite, it is always known and it is NEVER infinite.

Its obviously not "infinite supply" and if someone autisticly insists it is, they either dont understand what words mean or have an axe to grind.
