Harumph. He didn't say "set of n non-negative integers". :-)

I didn't say he did. But n itself must be non-negative - or are you
claiming that you can have a set of integers that has fewer than no
members?

I am claiming that the 'set of integers' can have negative
members.

Of course.

On re-reading, maybe I jumped the gun.

Of course. ;-)
