I have not been doing so. At that time there was no difference between reals, integers and cardinals (because Cantor did not suspect that there would apperar a contradiction). He just had switched from oo to omega.

And those numbers are multiplied by real numbers.

All you have said does not change Cantor's interpretation. Have you really overlooked his: "da doch auf diese Weise eine bestimmte Erweiterung des reellen Zahlengebietes in das Unendlichgroße erreicht ist" ? Or did you want to cheat only?

Then you should excuse yourself to me and to Cantort for completely misinterpreting Cantor here.
