You see: "If we don't consider omega, we don't consider omega." Let me try to explain. If we consider the interval [0, 1] of real numbers: |-----------------| 0 1 then 2 is not on this line segment: it's just not there. :-) But the case with omega is worse: It's not on the real line at all. omega !e IR. On the other hand we *may* extend the "real number line". See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_real_number_line
