The set is countable with no doubt.
An anti-diagonal cannot differ from every number of the set because
the set contains all numbers. Compare the Binary Tree where no anti-
diagonal can be found (in the finite realm).
And there is no infinite realm. So if there are infinitely many paths
in the Binary Tree, then they must cross at least one finite level
together. But that is not the case. Hence they can only become
infinitely many beyond every finite level. But that is the realm of
matheology. In mathematics there does nothing follow beyond every
finite level.
