A potentially infinite sequence has *not* more elements than every natural number. There are only, if we may apply this terminus, countably many such sequences. A list of them can be complete (in set theory, not in reality). If a complete list of them yields a digonal that is not in the list, then the self contradictory character of the diagonal argument is obvious.
