Generalized information structures, that is, information structures that are not partitions, are needed when we wish to impose some limitations on the concept of knowledge or bound rationality. In a previous work the author showed that the impossibility of `agreeing to disagree', which was proved by R. Aumann for partitions, also holds for reflexive-transitive information structures when certain restrictions are imposed on such structures. In particular, finite reflexive-transitive structures satisfy these restrictions. Now we show that the restrictions are not superflous by constructing infinite reflexive-transitive information structures for which agents can agree not to agree.
