I am not using Collin's assumptions. I am using the definition I gave. Collin didn't define "strongly irrational". I just used the opportunity to point out that a similar concept exists in constructive mathematics. And it is well known, in constructive mathematics, that the Ancient Greek's proof does do the job.
