I think we need to add "sets are not doors" to the description of this room

In mathematics, in the field of topology, a topological space is said to be a door space if every subset is either open or closed (or both). The term comes from the introductory topology mnemonic that "a subset is not like a door: it can be open, closed, both, or neither". Here are some easy facts about door spaces: A Hausdorff door space has at most one accumulation point. In a Hausdorff door space if x is not an accumulation point then {x} is open. To prove the first assertion, let X be a Hausdorff door space, and let x ≠ y be distinct points. Since X is Hausdorff there are open neighborhoods...
 
@MartinSleziak I don't like "or both"
but the existence of door space does not invalidate the need of including that remark
 
@DHMO We probably have different understanding of the word need, but if it is so badly needed, be my guest.

room topic changed to General topology: For any discussions about general topology. For instructions how to render MathJax(TeX) in chat see meta.math.stackexchange.com/a/3297 "Sets are not doors" [general-topology] [metric-spaces]
@MartinSleziak lol, it is not really "need" as in "we would die without it", just "need" as in "this is a common mistake and it would be nice to include it"
 
Sorry, typo
