It's not just "definition of a list" in Cantor's proof. It's definition of a "list of reals". If you change that to "list of computable reals", then of course the definition changes.

I provide a mathematical definition for it. That is more than required, as Cantor's proof applies even to *undefinable* lists of reals. And yes, it is easily proven that there exist undefinable lists of computable reals.
So if it is "cheating", it is only according to rules that never existed in the first place.
