'at' and 'point' mean essentially the same thing.

But it is, of course, wrong to assign a point to infinity, because 
infinity is not a point and it is impossible to be there (hence there is 
no 'at').

It is also impossible to shrink infinity in any way, because infinity 
will remain infinitely large, even after significant shrinking.

inf = 1/0

hence

inf * 0 =1

hence

0/inf = 1/inf²

;-)

but infinity is also not a number!
