What about 0,4999...=0,5 or 0,00...(infinite zeroes)...1 = 0?

The original premise is "0,00...(infinite zeroes)...1 = 0"
another way of writing that 0.00...(infinite zeroes)...1 is:
5-(0.4 + SUM[N=1 to infinity]( 0.9/(10*N) ). It exactly the same according to sequences and series. SO if you say that 4.999 is 5 then 0.000...1 is zero.
wanker. I'm still not sure why you can't see that the two arguments are identical.
Furthermore, in practical math such small no's as 0.000...1 are irrelevant and considered 0.
