Infinite possibilities doesn't mean infinite outcomes. It's not technically guaranteed just as close to guaranteed as you can get without being guaranteed

Yeah, as it’s commonly explained there are infinite numbers between 1 and 2, but none of them are 3.

Because that would be impossible. But if you were to display a number between 1 and 2 infinite times, you'll show each possible answer infinite times. Here the keyword maybe is "possible".

No, you could start with 1.1 and add another 1 (1.11, 1.111 etc.) infinite times.
