Sure, it's "obvious" for us. But how would you define "have the same
number of elements" (in mathematical terms) such that it can be DEDUCED
(!) für certain sets A and B?

I see {a, b, c} and {3, 4, 5} and think three elements.

C'mon man! :-P

Please, that's a red herring, and you know it!  No where did I say that
a, b and c stood for anything (i.e. that they might be variables in the
maths sense).  I this sort of context they are just distinct symbols.
