Yes, things that are elements are infinite in number.
Every single one of the things is finite.
No thing is infinite. Therefore no element of the
list is infinite.

Good. Then we are agreed that it makes perfect
sense to say that any one line (and all its predecessors)
can be removed, but the collection of all lines
cannot be removed.
Thus, the fact that there is no line (along with
all its predecessors) that cannot be removed
is not a contradiction.
Next argument.
