What problem does infinite scroll solve? Why add the complexity of more code which needs fix upon fix to get back functionality we already had? Getting infinite scroll "right" takes a lot of work (and nobody's done so yet, to my knowledge). Knowing how to fix the issues might be useful, but being able to spot that you don't need to incur the cost at all is so much more so.
