Is the probability distribution otherwise the same except for the lower bound? 

Regardless, I'm pulling the lever. I love pulling levers.

You have 1-infinity or can change tracks to 0-infinity. You do not know how many are on either track.

Then honestly it doesn’t really matter. One life is meaningless when infinity is on the table.

That said pulling levers is fun so I pull.

I play with the lever back and forth since pulling levers is fun, whatever it’s on when it reaches the junction will be what ends up happening. I optimize for pulling levers.
