Ok, that's valid. We do not have a common foundation to argue from.

But lets just ignore these side issues and look at the
strongest part of my argument where I use Cantor's logic to prove that a
table of integers does not contain all the integers. How can you show my
argument is invalid and at the same time, keep Cantor's logic about the
relationship between the integers and reals as valid?
