it still differs from each of the listed elements.

But, nevertheless, it does.

Note that any list including finite sequences can be bijceted with a
list of infinite sequences by adding one "letter" to the alphabet of
those sequences and appending an infinite sequence of that letter to
every finite sequence.
Thus EVERY list of sequences is equivalent to a list of infinite
sequences, and the Cantor diagonalization method applies.
