I think they're all a bunch of drug addicts who can't think well cause 0.999 will never be equal to 1.

If it tends towards 1 for infinity, then there is no number between 0.999... and 1, they are the same.

OMG HOW DID I MISS THIS 4 YEARS AGO

This definitely helps me understand the whole .999... = 1 paradox.
