I thought "when I get to the end of the natural numbers" was obvious enough, but... The premise was that the iteration over natural numbers would "never finish". That implies a non-zero duration for a single iteration and an amount of time that is either finite or at best (countably) infinite. Under these constraints, both iterators produce the same series. - stefan
