No, Phil, YOU are missing the point. YOU ARE NEW.
Herc has been here FOR A DECADE. YOU should look back.
Everything you are about to say HAS BEEN SAID a dozen times
already. HE KNOWS the list is presumably exhaustive.
He is trying to say that because you have to create infinitely many
changes,
YOU JUST CAN"T, because you never finish or it's too hard. What he
ACTUALLY
doesn't understand is that there is a logical inference rule called
universal generalization.
What he actually doesn't understand is that this rule does NOT give A
FLYING FUCK how
huge the domain of discourse (over which it is generalizing) may be --
there is NOT any issue of TIME OR SEQUENTIALITY in performing
(whatever) over each individual element of the domain -- the
generalization is asserted or true about ALL OF THEM AT ONCE. But he
thinks that merely pointing out that a process is infinitary somehow
proves it can't complete.
