what's your point?
1-0.999... = 0.00...01 as well.

0.00...01 is meaningless. "An infinite number of zeroes, followed by a one" does not make any sort of sense.

0.00...01 does not have any meaning in the p-adic numbers either. ...001 does, and funky things like ...111, but 0.00...01 does not have a meaning there any more than 111...111 does.
