That particular sentence does not have a problem, but if you scanned
my entire website you would find some split infinitives that I did
deliberately because the alternative was ambiguous or awkward.

My assertion is that splitting the infinitive is not ambiguous. I am
not asserting that not splitting the infinitive is always ambiguous,
just sometimes.

Avoiding split infinitives seems to me a silly rule.  I can't see any
advantage in it.
