>>164 (the real number, not any other sort of number, or anything else)
Yes, you're right, I'm a cultist. I've seen the light. From now on, every time I say, write, or even think about a number, I will append the statement "(the real number, not any other sort of number, or anything else)." No longer will I be so foolish as to believe that any human with a functional brain could interpret "0.999..." on its own to mean "the real number 0.999..., and not any other sort of number, or anything else."
