Honestly, the reason my explanation didn't make sense is because I didn't explain it. I just took a countably infinite set's powerset's not being countable as a fact because it was mentioned in the article.

Now, the fact that the set of functions from X to Y (usually written as X → Y) is uncountable if X or Y is countably infinite I did try to explain but failed :P.
