Not a troll, just not keeping thoughts on track and not picking up on
distinctions between some things with similar names.

I now recognise I was continuing to talk about the argument for the
uncountability of reals instead of the one for the uncountability of
independent choices of unending sequences of symbols from a finite
repertoire including those made entirely of independent free choices
from that repertoire.

A new unending sequence of symbols from a finite repertoire is still not
constructed for each purported such object because those made entirely
of independent free choices of symbols aren't constructed so no
constructive operation constructs anything from them.
