Identical to every initial segment of the anti-diagonal.

Why should a list of all finite strings be impossible?

Of course any Cantor-list that contains all finite strings fails to
produce a different finite string. The Binary Tree is an example.
After all finite initial segmenst of paths there is no chance to
differ by nodes. And the handwaving claim to "differ in the infinite"
can be rejected by stating that in mathematics there is no chance to
differ in the infinite.
