This is a different sense of "uncountable" than we are using here. Sets are called *countable* if it is possible to put their members in 1-1 correspondence with the natural numbers or a subset of them; *uncountable* otherwise. All finite sets are countable; some infinite sets are countable, some uncountable. You are using "uncountable" in the sense of "vague". -- Knowledge studies others / Wisdom is self-known; John Cowan Muscle masters brothers / Self-mastery is bone; jcowan@hidden.email Content need never borrow / Ambition wanders blind; www.ccil.org/~cowan Vitality cleaves to the marrow / Leaving death behind. --Tao 33 (Bynner)
