RRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh... (pardon my noise of frustration)

I think I was wrong about what I said in the first post of this thread...

"Infinite" implies one-to-one and onto (which is the same as bijection), so premise 1 is OK.

This paradox haunts my dreams. (like the painted man)

But my comments on "absurdity" and the actual relevance of infinity to the real world still stand. I think that those trying to "disprove" something about our natural world using this paradox are probably trying to apply meaning to the natural numbers system that can't be applied without extra axioms.
