Even a brain of a dishwasher should suffice to understand the following 
argument:
The Binary Tree has countably many nodes and, according to Cantor, 
uncountably many paths.

But the basic element of the Binary Tree is the node
  |
  o
/ \
which splits an incoming sheaf of paths into two sheaves of paths, i.e., 
it makes one more sheaf distinguishable from the already separated sheaves.

Therefore only countably many sheaves of paths (including those carrying 
only one path - if they are existing at all) can get separated.
