Sure, I agree with everything you've said; I was sloppy in saying "Euclid's proof" (whose baroque language I haven't actually bothered to wade through) when I meant "the proof in the OP", though I was precise in saying "it can't use LEM" where you've interpreted it as "a mathematician can't use LEM".

(I asked for an explanation because I resented being called "dumb" by someone I'm pretty sure doesn't actually understand the distinction I'm talking about.)
