This is a good example of what I was talking about in the last post.
If I look at the Cantor's Proof (pg 158 in [1]), no where does it say
given a function f:S->P(S) there is a set A_f in P(S) that is not in
the range of f. It says for each function f:S -> P(S) define a set A_f
in P(S) and A_f is not in the range of f. I would say your statement
is an interpretation of the proof different from mine. Now who is
correct? Well, no matter which way I look at it, it appears I am
correct. So unless you tell me where I'm wrong I do not realize I have
a gap that needs filling.
