Yeah, that is more what I'm on about. I can accept that a computer's `int` type is not an infinite set, even if it does cause problems at the boundaries. It feels like more of a little white lie to me. Whereas, even between their minimum and maximum values, and even subject to their numeric precision, there are still so many rational numbers that an IEEE float can't represent. So it's not even a rational. Nor can it represent a single irrational number, thereby failing to capture one iota of what qualitatively distinguishes the real numbers. . . if Hacker News supported gifs, I'd be inserting one that features Mandy Patinkin right here.
