Infinity is more a direction than a number. That's why math majors generally prefer to say approaches infinity rather than infinity.
On a human scale infinity doesn't really matter. Bottom choice approaches infinity infinitely faster than top and would be a better choice. Would you rather 1 person die from disease a day or 10,000 people? It all approaches infinity in the end but one choice is demonstrably better.
