I don't think you realise where I'm going with my reasoning. I'm not
dogpiling. My point is that any real algorithm in any real computer is
automatically in an infinite loop. I'm saying that I think you're correct
and I'm trying to understand how you are more than trivially correct.

So your question is can a computer with finite memory calculate an infinite
number of digits of Pi? Well what do you think?
