@St_Rev Ah, right. Our hypothesis, based on experience, was that both of us were denied access to the holy inner circle of initiates -
@St_Rev But now I’m suspecting one reason I was denied access was *because* I asked triggering questions about foundations. -
@St_Rev it was completely baffling at the time. we’re doing real analysis and you get all upset when I ask what “real” means?? -
@St_Rev Turns out Dedekind was a close friend of Cantor, btw
