Response to elaboration

 

...a devastating refutation of everything you've ever believed. Well, no....I'm really just working on one attempt to show you how numbers and sets and lots of other abstract universals (perhaps properties and relations and propositions and whatnot), including infinite sets, count as objectively real because they are essential to empirical science in the same sense that electrons, and in fact tables, are. But (a) don't address what I just said, since that's only a half-assed summary that may not accurately summarize what I'll ultimately come up with; and (b) don't hold your breath, since it will of necessity be longish. The issues involved are complicated. To phrase it in everyday language means making it longer than a professional or technical presentation would be.
