Seriously sci, if a 0x0x0 singularity blew up by expanding by the smallest unit of distance ("infinitely" small), it would take "infinity" to get to one unit (we're not there yet). Are all of you anti-Zeno? Did you hear of paradoxes, and specifically Zeno's paradox?
I'd say it's "effectively" (as if) equal but it'd be better to calculate it, if possible, as 1. The inequality--exactly--is the difference presented above.
