I have no time for nor interest in your faux post-modern gibberish. I only wish to point our that Fred Katz's dissertation did NOT show that "half the integers are even". The interesting thing about the paper was that he was unable to determine whether There are "the same number" of even natural numbers as odd or whether there is one more even than odd.
See also Matthew W Parker "Set Size and the Part-Whole Principle" and references therein where he demonstrates that methods like Katz's "must be either very weak and narrow or largely arbitrary and misleading": http://philpapers.org/rec/PARSSA-3
