Kudos to the author on spending some time on this one. Not too many people spend much time considering this one.
Unfortunately, philosophy applied to maths usually goes sideways and this feels like such a case.
Mathematicians use delta-epsilon definition of a limit as a starting point to apply rigor to thinking about infinities. Learning and understanding that approach I suspect would go a long way to clearing up the author's quandaries.
