"In either case, the numbers are finite, so there will be no singularity."

Does the average person (or indeed any person) who uses the term "singularity" 
genuinely expect that any physical quantity will go to infinity?  That was not 
my impression.  I take "technological singularity" as a metaphor that means a 
dramatic leap in capacity, beyond which life as we now know it will be 
obsolete.  Arguing against the singularity because it can't literally be a 
mathematical singularity seems like a straw man.
