It would appear that the probability of randomly selecting a specific element from a Transfinite Set would be zero. However, NOT making a selection at all, would also yield a zero probability. Thus the contradiction. Furthermore, this can be compounded further if we exercise the above consideration on countable and uncountable Transfinite Sets. Are some 'zeros' less than others?

ADDENDUM (Feb. 2016): Let us consider the above posed question as selection from a transfinite set of points on two Lines perpendicular or parallel:  L1 and L2 .  Now let us re-evaluate this in terms of Purdy's Conjecture, to wit.,  Suppose that n points are to be chosen on line L and another n points on line M. If L and M are perpendicular or parallel, then the points can be chosen so that the number of distinct distances determined is bounded by a constant multiply of n, but otherwise the number is much larger.
