/-- Consider, for each `x` in a set `s`, a radius `r x ∈ (0, 1]`. Then one can find finitely
many disjoint balls of the form `closedBall x (r x)` covering a proportion `1/(N+1)` of `s`, if
there are no satellite configurations with `N+1` points.

  /- We will apply the topological Besicovitch theorem, giving `N` disjoint subfamilies of balls
    covering `s`. Among these, one of them covers a proportion at least `1/N` of `s`. A large
    enough finite subfamily will then cover a proportion at least `1/(N+1)`. -/
