I know that. But any possible interval must be non-zero.
Also, some exact numbers are exceptions, depending on how you measure things: for example, there is a possibility the "task" "takes" EXACTLY 0 seconds, because it was already done. For example, sorting something that was already in the right order. (In some contexts. In other contexts it might be a negative time, or how long it took to check that it really was already done, or something like that)
Infinite utility seems like it might be a similar case.
