We're not solving that x = 0.999. We are showing 1 = 0.999..

...and that is not a valid way of showing it.


I've shown it was correct mathematically as you agreed was valid. Your squaring example is not applicable counter-proof. All you've proven is that sometimes things don't work out, but you've done nothing to show that what I did wouldn't work out.
