And why wouldn't we swallow it? It's a made up object that obeys
certain properties that we define and then build from logically just
like all of math. Whatever philosophical reasons you have for
rejecting them aren't any less convincing. If you think a contradiction
exists, it's your responsibility to prove it but just because you don't
like the idea doesn't mean it's not a valid way to math. Frankly I'd
take that load of bollocks over your ill-defined drivel any day even if
it had a contradiction, because it's at least articulate. When you will
realize that math is about one thing - convincing your peers. That's
why the rely so heavily on logic and rules of inference which are
widely agreed upon, and the fact that you can't get anyone to believe
your claims is a pretty solid reason for rejecting them.
