It's not obvious that S2 == S1.

I can see some differences: for any finite N > 0, it's false that the sum of the first N terms of S2 is the same as the sum of the first N terms of S1. And what do we know about the infinite sum? Maybe you're right, but you'd have to prove it; they are definitely not equal "by definition"!



You're right - "infinity" is more of a type than an actual value - S1 and S2 have different counters.
