Proof:
1 = 1 + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + ....
  = (1 + -1) + (1 + -1) + (1 + -1) + (1 + -1) + ......
  = 0

The series is infinite. The ... and the end says it's infinite.

The **ONLY** way that the OP fake proof can end up with 1 = 0 is when the series is infinite. If it is not infinite, then you can put the 1 and the end of it and you end up with 1 = 1. Get it? If it is infinite, you CANNOT put the 1 at the end; that is just how infinite sums work.

Basically, what the fake proof says is that you cannot use the associative property of addition on infinite sums.
