The Baire category theorem says that a countable intersection of open dense sets in a nonempty complete metric space is dense. Write . Each singleton is closed in a metric space and has empty interior because there are no isolated points. Therefore every is open and dense. Applying the theorem also to yieldswhich is dense in . Thus every nonempty open subset meets the required difference, not merely the original dense set .
