You are in error. Counting goes like this: 1, 2, 3, ..., ω, ω+1, ω+2, .. You simply pass ω although no known natural number k+1 will reach ω. But by multiplication, which goes faster, you cannot pass ω?

  Nope, "counting individual numbers" NEVER gets to ω.
 ω is what you get to when you go BEYOND just "counting", which is why your bounded logic can't handle it, as it needs to count to things.
 ω isn't just some "big" number, but a step above what you get by counting and moving into dealing with infinite sets.

Perhaps WM thinks that ω is a finite boundary for the natural numbers. Then, I can see where he thinks it must be some really big, hyper huge, natural number. Strange!
