[you can't travel faster than Warp 10, Warp 10 being infinite speed]

Oh I'm sure he's right. I just pointed out that it, refering to the show, was 
wrong. Probably because the writers made a misstake, and simply didn't take 
the Warp 9 - Warp 10 part of the scale into account.
Because the thing is, that the "problem" here, isn't the actuall speed a 
starship can travel, it's matter of what Warp 10 is, and by definition, it's 
infinite speed. Whichever speed that might be. Sorta...
So I'm not saying anyone here's incorrect, I'm saying the show's incorrect 
(or 
maybe I'm having some sort of brain mal function :).
Personally I don't like the TNG scale really. First of all, you can't 
calculate the actuall speed from being given a WF above 9, because apperantly 
 just drew the scale the last part, so that it'd look good 
or 
something. I much better system would be to have Warp 10 being, "TOS Warp 
10", 
and Warp 11 being "TOS Warp 20" and so on... Or simply have a "constant" Warp 
scale or whatever it's called.
There's really no sense in having a "closed-end" scale, since infinite speed 
could be expressed in some other way. And besides, if Warp 10 is inifinte 
speed, than what the heck is Warp 9.999999999999?  How many 9:s can you apply 
till you reach infinite speed? Infinite! You can't, with a Warp scale or any 
other scale that I can think of, express "infinite speed minus Warp 1" for 
example. 
I'll shut up now :)
