Why do you distract the attention of the reader?
Of course I see a contradiction.
This contradiction has its origin in the assumption that a potentially
infinite sequence is something that could be complete enough to be in
a line or elsewhere.

Everybody can see it clearly here:

1
1, 2
1, 2, 3
...

This list has everything that is in the diagonal in a line too. But
nowhere we have a completed diagonal, not in a line and not in the
diagonal.
