The OP was careful, it seems, to avoid that issue. (Infinite set agnosticism?)
In any case, our perceived history matches the Born rules too well for it to be reasonable that "probabilities are meaningless", so either the universe is OK with measures on infinite sets or it's somehow finite after all. (I incline strongly toward the former hypothesis, for reasons of mathematical elegance— thoroughly finitary versions of Hilbert spaces are hack-ish.)
I like this; it is an excellently compact way of putting it.
I don't see this. I am referring particularly to this paragraph:
I agree with you that the Born rules imply meaningful probabilities; but it seems to me that the OP does not believe this, at least in the part I've quoted.
