(...) I always thought $k\in\{1,2,3\}$ was pretty much equivalent in this situation to $k=1,2,3$. By your definition you are assigning k to be equal to the set as opposed to a value. (...)

(...) Hmm. Most of that went over my head. Still, there were a few things that I think confused me due to more than my incipient senility: In formula 3, shouldn't that be "Let k\in \{1,2,3\} such that . . ." rather than "Let k=\{1,2,3\} such that .
