Countably many completely Ramsey-null sets can be avoided simultaneously in a stem-preserving Ellentuck topology refinement. Select an increasing sequence with nested infinite remaining tails. At stage , thin the tail to avoid the th set for every stem , where ranges over all subsets of the first selected points. There are only finitely many such stems. Any infinite subset of the final selected sequence uses some such before stage and has all remaining points in the thinned tail. Thus it avoids every forbidden set. This explains why an argument checking only the full selected prefix is insufficient.
