Well good grief, Doc -- how could the problem of "correct specification" come up in the first place, absent the a priori existence of a "specifying" human mind?That's true in that mathematics is entirely a product of the human mind; however, Russell's paradox shows that the mind is rich enough to create falsehoods.

Frege was taken aback, but his invention proved very useful after all even if internally conflicted. Russell got paradoxicated in his turn and died unhappy and frustrated.

I'm not pointing to trees; I['m] pointing out that we're not even a forest. Notwithtanding, I still see the forest, Doc. And you're in it and so am I and all our friends and strangers. Does that make me "crazy???"
