So, you do not understand the difference between "unlimited" and "infinite".
That is one of your problems in understanding simple english.
The fact that the entropy is unlimited does not mean that it is infinite.
It just means that there is no limit to how large the entropy can be.
An unlimited number can have any finite value, but not infinity, because that
is not a number.

If E>N for any natural number N, then E is infinite.

Or to say the same thing another way:
If it is greater than any number, then it is not a number, it is infinite.
