Re:Why is dependent type theory more suitable than set theor... by skissane on Saturday November 21, 2020 @01:16AM (#25168148)
No, the point was that 𝑈∈𝑋 is a typo and 𝑈⊆𝑋 is what was intended. Type theory will reject the mistake but set theory will accept it. This is then presented as a reason why mathematicians should prefer type-theory-based proof assistants to set-theory-based ones, since the former will catch these kinds of mistakes while the later won't.
