In the context of the dissertaion, Kaczynski uses a form of diagonalization argument in the service of a particular lemma, which has to do with complex analysis, topology, and geometry. That much is perfectly clear. Admittedly, I haven't checked details because those are over my head, but I have enough education to get the general thrust. Your statement, "THE diagonalization argument" suggests to me that you think that that K is just aping Cantor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor%27s_diagonal_argument , when I instead simply wanted to post a fun pic from the dissertation for some color.

The thing itself also contains several results which are really his, as stated, and also contains several things which are slight modifications or else fully-cited repetitions of previous results. "Repeating other people's shit", when done properly and with the right context, is also known as "academic research", but you don't know that.
