I've seen this proof, the arithmetic seems inconsistent. For now, lets stick with the apple theorem. 1 apple + 1 apple = 2 apples?

Peano axioms are basically spelling out in intense detail, the principle of mathematical induction.

It's not well defined to call it an arithmetic, since you are working with set operations (Unions, Intersections)...not to mention the words consistent / inconsistent in this context are frighteningly complicated. D: ... but maybe you can express your concern and I can try to remedy it. (:
