I would argue that it does not correspond very well to what people mean when they say "more" or "fewer", and hence the apparent paradox of Hilbert's Hotel. That is, my original point was that thinking of infinite sets as having comparable sizes is the precise confusion that leads to the supposed paradox.
If you're specifically comparing cardinalities, "more" or "fewer" lose their "colloquial" meaning.
