It's the same type of logic as using the Banach–Tarski paradox to claim that 1 + 1 = 1, but easier to grasp for non-mathematicians. Although there may not be enough points there are also too many sets as demonstrated by the Banach-Tarski paradox which lead to the introduction of measurable sets. The Banach–Tarski paradox states that a ball in the ordinary Euclidean space can be doubled using only the operations of partioning into subsets, replacing a set with a congruent set, and reassembly. ThatsMathsBut despite its intuitive reasonableness, the Axiom of Choice cannot be deduced from more fundamental assumptions, and it certainly has amazing consequences, one of which is the Banach-Tarski paradox. Interlocutor: I told you not to take the axiom of choice. And use of the AC to achieve unintuitive mathematical results, like paradoxical decompositions in geometry in the spirit of the Banach-Tarski paradox, have also fueled skepticism and mistrust of the axiom. This paradox is actually very similar to Banach-Tarski, but involves a violation of additivity of probability rather than additivity of volume. This week we go over just how a mathematical universe differs from a physical one on the basis of the Axiom of Choice.

For non-mathematicians, the beginning of the article on the Banach-Tarski paradox is still worth looking at.

I recently read and reviewed The Pea and The Sun by Leonard Wapner, which is about the Banach-Tarski Paradox. In General Math is being discussed at Physics Forums. Link includes a video on how to make one yourself out of paper, as well as an introduction to the Banach-Tarski paradox ("a pea can be chopped up and reassembled into the Sun"). It strikes me that the Banach–Tarski paradox makes for a good reductio ad absurdum proof that matter cannot be subdivided infinitely. You kids and your Banach-Tarski paradox jokes.
