Hi Ladislav,

Your conclusion is not correct. You can conclude that integers do
not have a position, but you cannot say that there is only one
1
. Both possibilities are valid, i.e. it is possible that there
is only one "1", and it is possible that there are multiple "1"s.
Imagine I give you a piece of paper; it is white and has the size
of 5 cm by 5 cm. Now you give it back to you, and I give back to
you a piece of paper that is white and has the size of 5 cm by 5
cm, and I ask to you: "is this THE SAME piece of paper I gave you
earlier?". Can you answer this question? If after that I give you
two pieces of paper that are both white and have the size of 5 cm
by 5 cm and I ask you: "are these two THE SAME piece of paper?",
what would your answer be?
Regards,
Gabriele.
