Nobody but you has talked about "growing" sets. Sets, like numbers, do not
grow. You, like many other people who do not understand set theory,
think of sets as mutable objects, that change as we perform operations
on them. This is akin to thinking that numbers change when we perform
addition. If I add 3 to 7, neither 3 or 7 changes.

It is such an odd belief. Why use a set for something that a function is
naturally for? I don't really understand why cranks insist on using sets
for everything, while at the same time insisting that sets are useless
or illogical or whatever.
