Yes, but the point is that you 're not going to brute-force this. If it's finite you can hope to approximate it. If it's not finite, you can't even approximate it.

Look- take Monte Carlo methods. You can sample a very big number of events and hope to get some useful information from that. If you sample infinity, though, what do you get? Infinity.
