Larry's answer to this (as found in another article, and as received via
mail) is that the crime is infinite when committed against an infinite
being.  Well, I don't quite understand the logic in this.

It sounds about equally reasonable to argue that mere finite mortals can
not hurt an infinite being enough to be noticed.
