You don't need to be blunt.

You react like a believer whose faith is attacked.

In any case, I don't attack YOU, nor even your "faith", but would you
say that a man that would complain to Russell about problems with the
set y = {x | x ∉ x} would be "an asshole" ?

Well, he would be if you take the things too much emotionally, but I
rather think he would be a great scientist.

Here I point the necessity of adapting the mechanism of redundancy in
lojbanic communication.   There IS some problem.   The fact that
Natlangs do have some glimpses of this problem too is not relevant,
because in most case this concerns pairs of concepts very near such as
"ran"/"run" where the unguessable feature is [PAST]/[PRESENT].   But
here so'V = QUANTITY = { all, none, many, a few ... } is A WHOLE
PARADIGM.

It's up to you to consider I overlook that, but I tend to think you
are too much emotionally involved in your reaction.   Ought to be more
scientifically-minded...
