Moot. An open circuit implies 'no' load which could
equally imply infinite resistance.


Why moot? No load = infinite resistance is the limiting
condition of what I said: a high load resistance is a low
load.

Moot because zero is not equal to infinity.


A nonsequiter, surely? Neither of our propositions claims or
comes anywhere near implying that it is. Any statement that
were to claim so would be not just moot, but clearly false.

I'm saying that zero is the limiting condition of low.
Infinity is the limiting condition of high. I assume that
you agree. Where, exactly, in our sequence of logical
ruminations above, do you detect a difference between us?
