I've done a two-column proof of this sort of thing, and there are tons of anomalies in mathematics like this. All it tells me is this: 1) schools compromise too easily on what they teach students (by overlooking these imperfections) and 2) we're still only human if we haven't figured out how this happened.
- I do think though that the initial premise is a fallacy given the nature of infinite "numbers".ismith
