That is wrong. Present mathematics simply assumes that all natural numbers can be used for counting. But that is wrong.
What's the point ?
It is the DEFINITION of "counting". A countable infinite set IS a set equipped with a bijection onto \N.
This bijection does not exist because most natural numbers cannot be distinguished as a simple argument shows.
All natural numbers can be manipulated collectively, for instance subtracted: ℕ \ {1, 2, 3, ...} = { }. Here all have disappeared.
Could all natural numbers be distinguished, then this subtraction could also happen but, caused by the well-order, a last one would disappear.
