There is no such thing as an "A" but only an infinite sequence of differing A's, indexable by the infinite set of natural numbers,

There is no such thing as a "B" but only an infinite sequence of differing "B's, indexable by the infinite set of natural numbers. , > never contains all natural numbers. B always has a last element
B is an infinite sequence of subset of N, thus does not have any "last elements, even though each member of B may have a last member.

WM cannot know lots of things because he has put a lock on his brain that prevents it.

Then WM should learn to be responsible for his behavior. --
