Pat Hayes said (paraphrased) > How can you put NUMBERS in a GRAPH? I ought to say that I've got no problem with using literal tokens in the graph; however, I'd like some clarification of this. "Consider the set of reals." Hang on, how can you put a NUMBER into a SET? And since a graph is just a set as well, where's the problem? As far as I can see this complaint stems from the (trivial?) distinction about whether a set contains things or names of things. Is that all that there is to it? Help! I'm beginning to believe that I'll never be able to think of a number again. Everything looks like a metaphor suddenly!
