   The iterative hierarchy is consistent with Z but not with ZF.
   Replacement (F) says in effect that any construction you can iterate
   yields a set.  Hence if the universe is an iterative hierarchy it is a
   set.

   Anyone brought up on the iterative hierarchy was told a lie.

I would have read replacement as saying that any construction you can iterate
*through a set* will yield a set.  Since the ordinals do not form a set,
iterating through them to produce the universe need not yield a set.
