I remember thinking Lisp really is what you call a top point.  The math
term for that sort of top point is "limit ordinal".  So my thought about
that Blub essay was that PG didn't seem to realize that once you reach a
limit ordinal, you can keep right on going, and eventually reach larger
limit ordinals that have much different properties than the first one
you reached.
