The OP's puzzle would not have bothered the Schoolmen. They made the distinction between what someone can imagine versus what one can conceive. For example, people cannot imagine a set of 3,543,672 objects; however, people can conceive such a set. Likewise, no one can imagine a truly formless substance or a substance completely devoid of form. And yet it is possible to consider each in concept. I say Man's rationality is not limited by his imagination.
