Now this is more interesting - it looks like people are working with their good ol' brain boxes. 

Does this mean that we now have a value and destination and "end-point" and finality for that thing which we did not previously?--a.k.a. infinity I think I hurt myself typing that sentence. It doesn't matter whether you peddle a large infinity (reals) or a small infinity (integers, odds, evens), the proscription is the same, I can't pick "any" card as I can't get the one "at the end".

The answer is the same today as yesterday and Forest Gump continues to mull his box of rocks, into perpetuity, apparently.

This is bizarre and ironic. The proof that the reals are not countable (represent a "larger infinity") requires one to pick values from an infinite set. Calculating probability doesn't.
