Actually - you can match an infinite set. And maybe this is what it's hard for some people to wrap their head around.

Suppose set A contains 2 items, apples and oranges.
So we define set B as everything in the universe that is not in set A.
So set B is an infinite set, everything in the universe EXCEPT apples and oranges.

Our first test set contain an orange - so it matches set A and not set B.
Our second test set contains a cherry - so it doesn't match set A but it does match set B.

When you have a method that matches against infinite sets to completely changes how you think about spam and ham detection.
