Well, I see what the poster meant. The real numbers don\'t normaly denote a quantity, but rather a magnitude of some measure. (You can have two pies, you can even have two pies and a half, but you don\'t say that you have 1.23456 [note: this IS a rational number] or sqrt(2) pies.) The part about countable and uncountable sets was just the poster trying to look clever by showing that he knows something about the set theory, and instead showing that he doesn\'t really know what he\'s talking about.
