It doesn't matter what this jackhole uses for an equation. When people mean 1, they say 1. They don't say .9999 repeating, but it's close enough.

1.999 repeating is not 2. Just adding .99 repeating to any number does not make it equal to that number. They are simply diffrent numbers, therefore, not able to be equal to each other.

There are simply some equations that are not 100% precise. This guy takes advantage of those to try and prove something that is just simply wrong.

Some portion of some number is not equal to the whole of that number, no matter how close it gets to being a whole, it's not a whole until it is 1. Untill you make it a 1, it's just a portion of 1.
