And, as I pointed out there, that comment remains wrong.

Upthread you said: "Of course if you tried that I could immediately name you a real number, or a pair of them, for which your rule doesn't work."

That is false - you're actually unable to name these numbers for which the rule doesn't work. Instead you're just insisting we accept on faith the existence of these unnamable numbers.
