I don't think this is a slam dunk. For this argument to work, the dart probability must be 100% for any function. This is supposed to be clear "intuitively", and then, by constructing a counterexample using the CH, it's concluded that the CH is false. But the space of functions from R to countable subsets of R is so vast (and so far removed from the physical world) that I don't think it's possible to have any "intuition" of what's possible in that space. And indeed, we see that there's a construction of a function f that doesn't conform to the "intuition". If there's an "intuitive" line of reasoning and a formal one, and they disagree, shouldn't we just conclude that our intuition is flawed? |

Alternatively, we might conclude that our intuition is right and instead our definition of real numbers isn't exactly what we want for some cases/questions.
