I think (and I am no expert here, so correct me if I am wrong) that, when it comes to actually written programs, there is little difference between “actually infinite” and “practically infinite”. This is like saying the probability of any particular real number being given by a float is zero because floats are only countable infinite (practically) rather than uncountable infinite. I don’t know, maybe I am talking out of my ass, tho lol

Well, my algorithm only says that it's an infinite loop if it actually is an infinite loop, not a "this loop has been running for 30 seconds" like the Linux Kernel has.
