Your premise is wrong. You, like most everyone who thinks that 0.999... does not equal 1, assume that these numbers *are* their decimals representations. That's not how real numbers work. Rather, real numbers can be *represented* by decimal expansions. A priori there is no reason why a given real number cannot be represented by two different decimal expansions, and it turns out that uniqueness does not hold.

The point is, real numbers exist independently of knowing anything about decimals.
