Can we simply add stratified comprehension $SF$ to axioms of Ackermann's set theory $Ack$?

Is there a clear argument of inconsistency involved with such addition? supposing that $NF$ and $Ack$ are consistent of course.

  • $\begingroup$ Yes but the argument is relative, if we suppose NF and Ack to be consistent, then is their blend consistent. By the way this question supposedly do have a positive answer according to Holmes, although he didn't write up the full formal proof, but the sketch of the proof is there and it seems convincing. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 15, 2020 at 15:29
  • $\begingroup$ So you want to, from a model of $Ack$ and a model of $NF$, construct a model of $NF+Ack$? $\endgroup$
