By induction, you can prove that no _finite length_ sequence of 9s after the decimal reach one. It has nothing to say about the infinite limit, though.

It's not a special case. It's the standard general definition of the limit of a sequence. The limit of a sequence a_1,a_2,...,a_n,... exists if and only if there exists some L (the limit) such that, for any (arbitrarily small) eps
