It's not the infinity of the subset of Ramsey pairings that's the central point of interest in this proof. What is mainly interesting is that their proof can show this, using only finitistic methods. Their proof shows this without explicitly using any concepts of infinity, for example, without assuming an infinite superset.

That's in a class of arguments that include statements like "If you disagreed with the use of your tax money, you would not pay taxes." Or "If you disagreed with the agricultural industry, you would not consume produce."
