So far no reason to comment. The same errors as always, paths
are not all finite, existence is not the same as being "discernible",
etc.

But this is new, at least as far as I recall! Are you familiar with
the word "straw man"? When has a mathematician invoked
God as part of the proof that the set of paths is uncountable?
