Re: This all depends upon whether there is a countably infinite or uncountably infinite number of settings.

Doug, shame on you. The natural numbers are an example of a countably infinite set and the real numbers are an example of an uncountably infinite set. Since we all know the Continuum Hypothesis is not a standard assumption in mathematics and, in fact, most set theorists think it is false, you can't pull me down into this non-axiomatic mud trap. ;)
