Top case is not the smallest infinite; going for prime number would save a lot of time for a lot of people before they die

    The set of all primes is the same size infinity as the set of all positive integers because you could create a way to map one to the other aka you can count to the nth prime. Reals are different in that there are an infinite number of real between any two reals which means there's no possible way to map them.
