You claimed that he uses more than I do, namely all natural numbers.

Right, you never use ALL the natural numbers, only a finite subset of
them.

Please give the quote from which you obtain a difference between "The
infinite sequence thus defined has the peculiar property to contain the
positive rational numbers completely, and each of them only once at a
determined place." [G. Cantor, letter to R. Lipschitz (19 Nov 1883)] and
my "the infinite sequence f(n) = [1, n] contains all natural numbers n
completely, and each of them only once at a determined place."
