(1) Why this raises "basic questions" is for you to elucidate.

(2) Because it is trivially true that 2^n exists for every n.

(3) Why is it triviallly true?

(4) That's one of the 'basic questions'.

Hardy har har ! So your elucidation why something raises basic
questions (such as "Why is it trivially true that 2^n exists for every

exists for every n."
Well done ! You've constructed your own vicious circle !
