Allow me to offer a brief proof of the contrary.

I will give you 1/R, which is between zero and one.
QED.
I believe you're conflating range, where it is trivially true that [0,∞] is of greater extent than (0,1), with quantity, where it is not the case that there exists a greater quantity of values in the former range than in the latter.
- grodriguez100 2y ago> You may select any real number between zero and infinity. Should that have been “between one and infinity”? Otherwise you cannot claim that 1/R is between zero and one.

- samatman 2y agoYou got me on that one. I would prefer, given the domain, to amend to "given an R between 0 and infinity, I will return R for all R < 1, or 1/R otherwise". But yes, the proof was flawed.
