Irrelevant! Any (complete) path in a Complete Infinite Binary Tree
contains infinitely many nodes and infinitely many branchings, and
cannot be distinguished from all other (complete) paths without
specifying at least infinitely many of its nodes or its entire sequence
of branchings.

Only in WMytheology.
In reality it is relevant, since any (complete) path in a Complete
Infinite Binary Tree contains infinitely many nodes and infinitely many
branchings, and cannot be distinguished from all other (complete) paths
without specifying at least infinitely many of its nodes or its entire
sequence of branchings.
Note that while a finite number of nodes can separate one path from any
finite set of other paths and from some infinite sets of other paths, it
takes infinitely many nodes to separate it from EVERY other path, since
two infinite paths can share any finite number of nodes.
