Any line segment can be divided continuously ad infinitum. At all times, with each division, the length of each part shortens by a half, while at the same time, the number of parts multiplies by two. So, how can an infinite number of parts, no matter how small they are, make up a finite whole? Because for every division, not just some but all, the lengths of the parts are reducing as fast as the number of parts are increasing. This means that even as the number of divisions tends to infinity, the corresponding halving of each part keeps the original line segment's length intact.

Request reason:

Accusing someone of making personal attacks without providing a justification for your accusation is also considered a form of personal attack. Furthermore, I only tried to empty the contents of my work and restore it to the state I found it. I did not create that page concerning "Outlines of Pyrrhonism", someone else did. Oilstone (talk)

Decline reason:

Yes you did create Outlines of Pyrrhonism, once on 18 February 2009, and again on 28 August 2012 - admins can see the full history of deleted pages. In each case you went on to blank it, which is taken as a request for deletion. And as for personal attacks, I don't see where you have been accused of any - you added the above "Personal attacks" heading yourself -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:11, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
