Let me heat that up for you...

10 reresented as it is has no meaning, no value, it is up to the interpreter to decide, therefore 10 has no value yet equals infinite. Ah, the things you can do with maths.

But this raises the question, how DO you represent it? 10 in base 10 could still mean anything, every positional number system considers itself 'base 10' or at least has the radix 10 when expressed in its own base. e.g: binary is base 2, and 2 in binary is representet as 10, so this could get quite confusing if there wasn't a general consensus as to what the standard would be. Lucky for us someone decided for us long ago.
