OK, you have just shown your basic ignorance of math (as if you hadn't before).
No, each and every one of those statements is precisely true *if* you understand the meaning of the notation. Clearly you do not.
All I can say is that you have clearly removed yourself from the realm of rationality. If you cannot accept *basic* mathematics, and thereby basic *logic*, we are done.
Nope. The fact that we assign 1 to 0.99999... is a convenience in mathematics.
What you are really saying is 1 = 1 - 1/infinity.
Since 1/infinity does not equal zero, then 1 does not equal 0.99999...
Nope that is NOT what the symbolism means. It is not just a convenience. Those are actual, exact, equalities.
I assure you, you don't want the technical definition. You wouldn't be able to handle the logic of the definition.
