In another part of this thread Gregory said:

'I never know whether your questions are genuine, or you're trying to pick a
fight. You assume such an air of authority in your Usenet discussions and
spam rotation that it's almost surprising that you'd think you have anything
left to learn.'

And you go and do a post that proves him right. The idea of a continuum
being composed of a large number of very small elements that goes over to a
continuum as they are made smaller is used extensively in many areas of
physics, science, and applied mathethmatics. It is the idea behind the
integral being the area under a curve. 15 year old beginning calculus
students understand it - but for some reason you do not.
