But it will never complete this number. That's the difference between
potential and actual infinity. Cantorians are ready to continue after
completing this number with omega + 1, .... They are ready to accept a
complete infinite set without an end. But they shy away from a
triangle with two missing ends, although the cardinalities of all
sides follow from symmetry.
