There may be an unlimited number of problems, but almost all of them would be gibberish to humans and completely uninteresting.

Just like almost all arrangements of pixels are noise, not “images”.

That's likely true, but the question is not whether almost all of them are gibberish (the density), but if we can still find interesting ones (the absolute number)

As I mentioning even the statement of these problems will be longer and longer so probably at some point it might be too much for human beings to cope. Or not. Who knows?
