Don't see what's supposed to be so mindboggling about the concept, seems trivial enough...

The thing is 0.99  is differnt than 1.

you use a 0 and a 9, when you write 0.9999999999 ect,

but you use a 1 when you write 1.

 

thus 0.999999 infinity out, shouldnt be the same as 1.

In a perfect world where you could go infinity out, and see infinity they shouldnt be the same.

This proof shows that they are the same.

Dispite you writeing them differntly.   0.999 = 1.
