Intuition here /is/ bankrupt." (W.V.O. Quine, Set > Theory and its Logic) Logic is bankrupt in set theory. That has been unmasked by Burns' losses in lossless exchange. Mathematics and Intuition recognize that addition of an element makes a set having more substance. Set theorists seriously claim that the set has not grown. That is not "counterintuitive" but simply brainless. Regards, WM
