Let's hear from him directly, ladies and gentlemen.
Joe, here is a set: A = {1,2,3}. Anyone knows that {1}, {2}, and {3} are subsets of A. Is {1,2} a superset? |
There is only one superset in a nested hierarchy, ie only one set that consists of and contains ALL other sets.
Now you may take issue to that usage but that is your problem, not mine.
The fact remains in a nested hierarchy there is only one set that consists of and conatins ALL of the other (sub)sets. So that would be "the" superset. Duh.
