So what you're saying is, you are acknowledging that 0.000...1 has no actual meaning, and neither does 0.999...8. I note that in
>>161 you say >>you never get any farther from 1 doing that though
So you admit that 0.999...8 (which is a nonsensical number) = 0.999~ = 1.
Really, I think we agree that 0.999~ = 1, but I'm arguing that 0.000...1 is nonsensical while you're arguing that it's a valid concept. Come to think of it, I would agree that 0.000...1 is a valid concept, as the infinitesimal. But that's not how the infinitesimal is defined, and I still say 0.000...1 is a stupid way of writing it.

0.999... and 0.999~ both imply an infinitely repeating decimal, numbskull.
