Here's what you wrote:
"I can prove that there exists an n which requires more than 10^80 bits
to name it. This n does not exist."
Now, I guess, you're saying that you meant to say something else,
namely:
"I can prove that there exists according to current mathematics an n
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
which requires more than 10^80 bits to name it. This n does not exist
in reality."
^^^^^^^^^^
So, if you're saying that what you actually wrote was mistaken, or at
least did not convey what you meant, then just say so explicitly.
I'll remove it from my .sigs.
