Ok. It has a lot of value. A lot is finite. Negative inf is still overpowering in that equation. That's the point OP made that you seem to be trying very hard to avoid addressing.

Because "negative infinity" is just hyperbole in this case. Some careers have been harmed or even destroyed, but we aren't seeing accused men wondering the streets homeless just yet (or whatever you want to equate to the most terrible outcome).

Most that have been reported in the news are wealthy enough to retire in comfort already. Beyond that, I'm not sure there is a huge number of non-public people losing their jobs over accusations (especially false ones).
