"Testing: the set N, defined so that there are some elements 'b' and
'e' in
N with known values taken from the integers and such that b less than or
equal 'e' and every other element is both the natural successor of an
element in N and less than or equal to 'e'."
When he tests a microphone, Don Knuth says:
“Testing zero, one, two.”
As opposed to Niklaus Wirth, who presumably would rather say:
"Testing lower bound, lower bound plus one, lower bound plus two."
