This proves that an infinite, non-repeating number needn't contain any given finite numeric sequence, but it doesn't prove that an infinite, non-repeating number can't. This is not to say that Pi does contain all finite numeric sequences, just that this statement isn't sufficient to prove it can't.

you are absolutely right.

it just proves that even if Pi contains all finite sequences it's not "since it oa infinite and non-repeating"
