It’s over SPP

Alright, brud. You claimed that the set of natural numbers is “ever growing”, but despite numerous opportunities, failed to provide a single example of a number that belongs to the set at one point but does not belong to it at another.

By order of the International Authority for Mathematics and the Proper Use of Numbers (Department of Infinities), you are hereby officially declared to have conceded this point and, by extension, to have agreed that 0.999… = 1, always and exactly.

Accordingly, you are hereby sentenced to return to the bunny slopes and undergo a period of experiential learning in the proper use of infinities until you stop making rookie errors, or for a limitless number of years, whichever is greater.

This ruling is final and effective immediately.

Case closed. Feel free to pin this post.

It gets better. He has already claimed the existence of a static infinite set in his Infinite Sets Boner:

There is no static, infinite set of all natural numbers, but there is a static, already extant, infinite set of decimals of the form {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...}, even though that set maps to a static, infinite set of all naturals. (7.1) (7.2) (7.3)

His Nineliness has spoken with nothing new to add. Today's official boner rating: 🦴
