So merely stating that all known proofs in ZF of the existence
of uncountable sets (i.e., what Cantor's diagonal argument is
designed to prove) require both Infinity and Powerset is now
considered "ignoramus mathematics"?

Of course, if there really is a proof in ZF-Infinity or
ZF-Powerset of the existence of uncountable sets, only then
will I agree that Albrecht's post is "ignoramus mathematics."
