But it is debated. Why? Because there are really no definate laws when dealing with infinities. 1 * 2 = 2 is definate. It is not debated. I propose that the reason .999... = 1 is accepted is because there are no math problems where a 1/infinity amount is going to make a difference.
But conceptually, .999... and 1 are very different things. And in at least that respect, they are not the same number.
