Perhaps I am a complete idiot, I don't understand which parts are missing. Please let me know what they are.

there's nothing illogical about that at all. All it is saying is that it's not true that the other statement is not true. or vice versa.

It is what is known as a paradox. This one is a version of the "Liar Paradox". This means that by it's very nature as a paradox it makes about as much sense as a cheese sandwich in a skipping tournament.

"Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, "wow, that's big", time. Infinity is just so big that by comparison, bigness itself looks really teensy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here."
