   *That is why I changed it to a set of sets*   
      
   For *any* decider H and input P   
   *is an infinite set of H/P pairs*   
      
   Almost every error that anyone has ever pointed   
   out is either their own lack of attention or their   
   own lack of comprehension.   
      
   The very helpful error corrections are wording mistakes.   
   That is why I need reviewers like you.
