I don't think so. The view I expressed on fom is the only problem I have
with the cumulative hierarchy is its length. In particular, I regard
V_{omega + omega} as quite determinate.

Reuben Hersh quoted on fom several time a facetious remark I had made to him
in person some months ago to the effect that I am a Platonist about the
natural numbers but agnostic about sets. That may be what you're referring to.
