Answering the same questions for the fourth time now, 1 is false, 2 is true.

I have, multiple times now. The antidiagonal of a list of computable reals is not necessarily a computable real. Your insistence that it must be is almost certainly because you don't know what a computable real is. (There are other possibilities, even less flattering to your math skills)
In particular, the antidiagonal of a list of all computable reals is never a computable real.
