I fear your logic is flawed. If there are an infinite number of
possibilities, than not only are there infinite possible mistakes, but an
infinite number of good solutions. Also, just because a solution is good,
does not mean it will or should last forever.

On the subject of infinite possibilities - given that there are an infinite
number of of possible mistakes and only one correct solution, it is
statistically impossible to do anything right.
IP4 was definitely a mistake. Whatever replaces it will invariably also be
a
mistake. Besides, if everything was done correctly this forum would be
very
dull!

I agree! Why create a finite anything when an infinite possibility
exists?
On another note, I have heard the argument that a unique identifier
already
exists in the form of a MAC address why not make further use of it?
