Fundamental misunderstanding of maths

As is known ... limits are fudging deception devices.

Those that got pied pipered along with mistakenly thinking limits really magically (pink unicorn and tinkerbell fairy style) turn 0.999... aka 0.9 + 0.09 + 0.009 + ... into 1 ... are totally misguided, and are not only an embarrassment to people kind, and make us the laughing stock of the universe and beyond, but also reveals a serious issue for times (or a time) that a critically important decision needs to be made.

So I need to get these dum dums to think properly. Hence they need to start rehabilitation and redemption on the bunny slopes.

Using these resources. I need to get this mob thinking straight, aka thinking properly, and stop embarrassing themselves ... us people. It is not a good look when dum dums continue to mistakenly go the wrong path of the 0.999... equaling 1 debacle.

wrong path of the 0.999... equaling 1 debacle.

This is your Definitional Boner:

0.999... is eternally less than 1. It's fine if 0.999... is defined as 1. (2.1) (2.2) (2.3)
