You win two paper-machine points [1]: one for observing the true nature of arXiv, and the other for implicitly deriding those who argue the countability of the reals.

[1] Probably not redeemable for anything you'd want.

EDIT: Don't be too harsh on the mantra "QM says reality is described by Schrodinger". It's the noble lie they tell undergraduates -- or at least, what they told me when I was an undergraduate. In my opinion, it's slightly unfair to expect the average LW'er to have a better-than-undergraduate knowledge of QM.

Thanks for the points. Yes, ArXiv frequently sucks. And people who argue that the set of real numbers has the same cardinality as the set of natural numbers are morons.. =)
