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.
