No again. This distinction has become necessary to maintain matheology for more than 100 years. Cantor himself did not even distinguish between element and singleton. Didn't you know that, did you? > > > > *) Look here > >http://www.hs-augsburg.de/~mueckenh/KB/KB%20801-1000.pdf
Anyhow, even in modern set theory the sets of indexed digits are sets.
