  Here I think it's good idea to spell out this (just) a bit more
explicitly: what WM seems to be asserting is that there is a finite set
N -- i.e. a set N such that |N| = k for some natural k -- such that for
every natural n, {1, ..., n} is a subset of N. The assertion is rank
nonsense, whatever one thinks of infinite sets or the diagonal argument.
