      Yeah but because you can't see at that level of precision you don't know what those numbers are

      It doesn't even need to be that close to 2.5 2 1/3 pretty clearly rounds to two. And two lots of that clearly rounds to five.

      If you have a set of scales and you have a thing that shows on the scale that it weighs two, and another if that thing, that also shows on the scale that it weighs two, and you weigh both together you still see that it weighs five. That's the point.

      It is generally understood, although not necessarily accurately, that the number "2" means "2.000...", that is the number two with an infinite set of zeroes after the decimal.

      (As an aside this is also exactly the same as a number one with an infinite sequence of nines after the decimal.)

      Yes, exactly. 1.99999999999999... means the limit of the series 1+0.9+0.09+0.009+0.0009+...., which is 2.

      Not equal to 2. Equivalent maybe.

      Well this is ironic I mean, sure, no one can force you to accept this as true if you don't want to -- that's the whole point of this conversation! Everyone has their own idiosyncratic language about numbers they use on their head to understand the world and that's fine!

      But from the point of view of standard, accepted, classroom mathematics you're just wrong 0.9999... = 1 is, according to the normal rules, true You can get into an extremely formal proof of it via real analysis, but you can demonstrate it informally with simple algebra

          Ever since this debate became an Internet meme there's been mathematicians pointing out that *you don't have to* accept this if you don't want to You don't have to do anything, in math, math is a construct you choose to adopt for your own purposes

          Your whole "equivalent to but not equal" thing, for instance, is a matter of much discussion - the = sign does indeed mean different things to different people at different times It's valid, you can say that if you want

          Or, incredibly informally, by asking what 1-0.999999.... equals.

          The problem with that is people not understanding infinity going 0.0...1, implying there's a one after the infinite sequence of zeroes.

          My math class are far away but, the way I interpret that is : as 0.3333... is exactly 1/3, 0.9999... is exactly 3/3, or 1.

          Yeah but that's not a rigorous proof because you haven't actually proven that 0.3333... is 1/3 either What this fight is about at heart is whether you're "allowed" to write numbers with that "..." after them and talk about an infinite series of digits
