The diagonal argument for the proof of the uncountability of the reals is flawed btw. It relies on decimal representations. But as the "0.999 = 1" disaster shows, decimal representations don't need to be unique. So while there might be uncounably many decimal representations, infinitely many of them could refer to the same numbers, thus leaving the actual unique reals countable.
