Don't ever look up anything in a source by WM unless you can agree with
WM's WMytheology.

As far as I can see, each n in |N will occur in only finitely many of
the sets in that sequence, so should not be the limit be the empty set?
Both the limsup and liminf for that sequence of sets works out to {}.

Since we are talking about a sequence of sets, not a sequence of
numbers. "1+log(n)" is irrelevant.
