   > So that suggests to me it treats NaN as the largest floating point value
   
   This is confirmed in the latest version of the [postgres 
docs](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-numeric.html):
   
   > IEEE 754 specifies that NaN should not compare equal to any other 
floating-point value (including NaN). In order to allow floating-point values 
to be sorted and used in tree-based indexes, PostgreSQL treats NaN values as 
equal, and greater than all non-NaN values.
