>I did no such thing
You have the original exactly plus a nine on the other side of the decimal point. Yet somehow you didn't add a nine. Also, it is exactly nine more than the number before multiplying. But you didn't add nine.

>So you just admitted to not knowing how series are defined, why should i take anything you say seriously?
This is how religion is defined. You don't accept the secret doctrine therefore you don't understand it. And no one can quite explain the secret doctrine, but they sure know to reject anyone who questions it.

>This is an interesting issue because I have seen a lot of evidence that there is no least positive real number.
There is a lot of evidence. Says none of it. Religion again. There is a lot of evidence that the square root of negative one does not exist.

>The most intuitive explaination is that 0.333... is one-third. Add that three times and it's exactly equal to one. Not close, exact.
Yet again, WHY? This is like attending a prayer meeting.

>are you saying 0.999... is not a well defined object?
Well, at some point you carry the one, and all the nines become zeros. But there is no "last digit" so where does the one come from? And if you treat the infinity as a completed step, then why can't you append anything to it?

>there is, you're just too retarded to grasp it
Proof by name-calling. This is the closest 4chan gets to an admission of defeat.

>>what’s an infinitesimal?
>1/infinity, which is 0.
Countable or uncountable infinity? What happens if you use one of the other infinities?

Okay, here is a better one. It's PNG, so it is lossless from my graphics editor.
