Oct 18, 2010 at 8:40 comment added Not Mike Yes, when a logician, and properly trained mathematician--that understands the care you need to take with these issues--gives me an answer I will be satisfied.
Oct 18, 2010 at 8:37 comment added Harry Gindi You have a fundamental misunderstanding of category theory, as you demonstrated in our IRC exchange. I feel like the only way that you will be satisfied is if a logician explains to you why you're wrong.
Oct 18, 2010 at 8:34 comment added Not Mike But you cannot quarantine this to just sets, this dependence on the axioms of set theory will spread to any category you can "map" Set into, Top, Grp, etc.. The independence of the very existence of a suslin line and whitehead group will guarantee that as soon as you pick a "value" for any of these limits, you have just changed the axioms of set theory you are currently working with. That is the problem, and I don't understand why this isn't handled with more care. Thus, you do not answer my question.
