>It’s like asking, “How many words does the largest sentence have in it?” And when you respond, “I don’t know, but at any given time, it’s a finite amount”, they say, “No! I can just add a word to it! It’s an actually-infinite sentence with an infinite number of words!”

The largest sentence does not exist, it's not infinite or finite. Another retarded strawman from Wildberger.

Yeah, of course it's smart. Rational trig is actually quite beautiful. If only its creator were someone with the competence to understand the foundations of real numbers.

But if the sentence doesn't end, then it's not a sentence?
