x= .999 repeating
10x = 9.999 repeating
10x-x = 9.999 repeating - .999 repeating
9x= 9
x=1

Flawless how? I pointed out exactly what flaw was made and provided proof for this reasoning. You disprove it, if you can. If this simply is not enough to explain things to you, I don't think you are capable of understanding the concept matter of infinity.

The problem is you are trying to put a finite point in your mind to an infinitely tiny fraction, which makes it not infinitely tiny anymore. As I explained, infinity is a concept, and if you don't understand that concept well you will make mistakes like "0.999... = 1"
