I have no problem conceding that. Do you have anything I could read that might enlighten me on this?

Oh, perfectly reasonable but rather tough question. My thinking about teaching infinity is now at odds both with everything I've read, and how I was taught. It also depends on your own inclinations, strengths and background.
Brian Clegg's book on infinity gets good reviews, but I haven't read it. I'm thinking of starting a blog series on it, but with everything else I have on I may never really get to it.
But as I say, in your specific case it really depends on your background. If you're really interested perhaps you could email me more details on what you've studied and what you've read, and I can write some brief articles by way of reply.
