If this were written in Latin, this would be a much livelier discussion. It's English, though, and even the heavily-prescriptive Elements of Style does not say not to split them. So if you are (or were) an English teacher, holding the split infinitive up as something that's "wrong" wouldn't hold water. It holds less water since this isn't an English class.
