“Can I imagine 10101010 = μ [S|s]oldiers in a row?”
“Can I imagine an endless row of [S|s]oldiers?”
  Why shouldn't I say, I can imagine an endless row of soldiers? the image is something like a row the end of which I can't see & a gesture & the words “on & on for ever –” said in a particular tone of voice. And suppose I said: μ soldiers would reach from here halfway to the sun if we placed them a yard apart!? Isn't this too ‘imagining the row’?
