> I'm surprised it gets so much attention.
0.999... = 1 is my favourite internet drama. Unlike picking a fight with other classics like "will an airplane on a treadmill take off?", this one actually has an objectively correct, unambiguous answer. People argue against it so hard and are just so wrong. It's always hilarious.

As for the everyday person who might have left school as soon as they could, they might not have been paying that much attention in class. Similar occurs when some people who should know better start to confuse integer type numbers with real numbers.
