Nowhere nearly as silly as WM's characterizations which require for every sequence a last but both concrete and evanescent member.

Only if there is a fixed last line rather than, as in real math, for each line a successor, just as for each natural there is a successor. > > > > Not at all.

But "there are all FIS in one single line" IS a contradiction, when, as here, for each line there is a successor line longer than the line itself.
WM seems to want to live in a mathematical world where one can never have a situation where the existence of each member of a set of objects requires the existence of a successor object in the set distinct from both the object itself and from all its predecessor objects in the set.
Since that sort of situation abounds in standard mathematics, WM is out of it. --
