In the off chance you're not trolling, I'll bite. > with that flawed logic you can formulate the following: [...] What you have written there is just the original statement in different words. You can't say "X can't be true, because then X would be true which doesn't make sense". You haven't said anything which conflicts with the original statement. In fact it is true that "0.999..." is exactly equal to 1, which is also exactly equal to 3/3. Those are three different representations of the exact same number, just like how 1/3 is exactly equal to "0.333...". There is no "approaching" involved.
