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

We an argue about whether infinites and infintesimals exist, but we are very confident that they are not real, in the sense that they are not real numbers, a defined set that excludes them. Whether the real numbers are real is up to you.

I mean, infinites and infinitesimals are highly problematic to work with, which is why calculus itself was highly problematic for a long time -- people *hated* that you need to talk about "infinitesimals" to talk about calculus And yet calculus is really fucking useful
