That is true for all ordinals.
That is what we mean by 'ordinals'.
Non.well.ordered ordinals belong with
non.three.cornered triangles,
among the self.contradictorily named.
It would look suspiciously as though
you (WM) _didn't know_ what an ordinal was,
if you hadn't been _told_ what it was,
by latest count, eleventy bazillion times.

Whether k or ξ or any ordinal is dark
is irrelevant to that description.

Perhaps there is a perfectly reasonable explanation
why you (WM) can only pursue that
while sounding as though you don't know
what an ordinal is.
So, what is that perfectly reasonable explanation?
