As a general rule, WM. you may assume that you are always on the wrong
track.
That assumption will be valid far more often than not.

How does one tell, for a merely "potentially infinite" sequence, whether
it matches another merely "potentially infinite" sequence, since there
cannot be, for such not actually infinite sequences any way to show
matching al infinitely many positions unless already one has every
position.
Thus two given but only only potentially infinite sequences may be
provably different, but cannot ever be provably the same, because proof
of sameness requires the actual infiniteness of the number of agreements.
