1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1/2 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1
1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 1
If you hypothetically keep going with this, then you should conclude that:
1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... = 1
If not, then something must have changed the equation, and yet the left hand side of the equation has always been the same value and 1 is always equal to 1. So where's the change in value, pray tell?
