no shit. I'm saying you can't use an enumerable set to produce a mapping with the reals. the natural numbers are an infinite set yet are definitionally countable as they are the ordinals.
disengage, you're arguing nonsense with someone with a literal degree in mathematics.
that's the conceit of the joke, the idea that you can use an enumerated list and map them to the reals. if you could do such a thing, you'd immediately fall prey to Cantor's diagonalization argument. the train tracks are a continuum. they can be mapped to the reals. a neverending list of people cannot.
