I tacitly assumed (without justifying my assuption) that any number
can only be 100% special or 100% nonspecial, and that the property is
decidable. Otherwise the set of all nonspecial numbers can't be
properly defined and the whole argument is flawed -- which I know it
is, hence the added smiley ;-)
