If I don’t know what frozz is, is the set well defined? Maybe in form, but not in essences. Lisper’s example in sibling comment is indeed well formed, but I know that if I get a counter-example to the conjecture it will pass the population interface and become part of the set. Therefore, I don’t see how we differ comparing simple membership with population and query. My feeling is we disagree over an ex nihilo vs procedural emergence of sets.
