Where nobody could say for sure exactly what text is "missing" after *than. The writer might have originally included the words is possible, would be possible, can be achieved,...* or any number of alternatives, before deciding he didn't need anything there at all, so he deleted that text. Or he may never have felt the need to imagine using any additional text at all.
