This is a different sense of "uncountable" than we are using here. Sets
are called *countable* if it is possible to put their members in 1-1
correspondence with the natural numbers or a subset of them; *uncountable*
otherwise. All finite sets are countable; some infinite sets are countable,
some uncountable.

You are using "uncountable" in the sense of "vague".
