This statement is easily falsified.
The diagonal will not be an irrational number unless it has a finite
definition (which it has not in general Cantor-lists) or has aleph_0
elements.
In potential infinity there are never aleph_0 elements. In potential
infinity there are no irrational numbers other than by finite
definition.
