Since that phrasing might be misunderstood, I should say that I mean: Zermelo's motivation was to prove that for every set, there exists a well ordering on it. MoeBlee

Oh I readily grant you, Tony, that the mathematikers would rather argue with you than me because you deal in commonly held beliefs mathematikers are used to dealing with whereas I deal in truth which mathematikers are not used to dealing with. > The trickis actually >pursuing a point that exists. :) No idear what you're on about here, Tony. When you find some mathematiker who can read without moving his lips let me know. ~v~~
