You contradict Cantor.
And you contradict the fact, that in incomplete sets we cannot know
the quality of the complete set.
But in the first place, look at the end of this posting.

For that sake you must check all lines. Can you check what is not
existing?

That is wrong in the list of all binary sequences that can be defined
or identified.

Here you apply actual infinity. Every potentially infinite set
consists of countably many finite elements.
Every potentially infinite decimal is a countable set of rational
approximations only. In order to obtain the true decimal of an
irrational number you will need a finite definition like
"pi" (unfortunately there are only countably many finite definitions
available) or a sequence of digits that is longer than every finite
sequence. But that means, the length of the sequence is actually
infinite.
(Actually infinite is tantamount to more than every finite. Aleph is
larger than every n.)
So you accept actual infinity in decimals, but not in lists?
Impossible. If the set of indexes is actually infinite in decimals,
then it is actually infinite in line numbers of lists. Then we get C4
is wrong.
