: A point only exists in _one_ dimension. Hence no magnitude, nor
: direction, ie. a point is not a vector.

    A point can exist in ANY dimension.  A vector can exist in any 
    dimension.  The only difference is that a point has no "substance", 
    and a vector does.

: (How would you measure the length of something infintly small ?)

    You don't, if it's mearly a point, because it has no measurable 
    qualities.
