The generic derivative bound implies that at every rational q∈(0,1),
limsupm​​m!f(m)(q)​​1/m=∞.

The Cauchy-Hadamard theorem therefore gives radius zero to the Taylor series at every such q. If a Taylor series represented f on a neighborhood of any point, that neighborhood would contain a rational point at which f was real analytic, a contradiction.
