Using that theory, why couldn't it be this?

.99999~ = .99998

Because .999 repeating is bigger than .99998

This isn't the same exactly, but it's the same principle.

As the number of 9's approaches infinity, the value approaches 1. In an infinite series, the number of 9's is infinite. .999 repeating equals 1.

Axiom: A number X divided by the same number X = 1

1/3 = 0.333333333....
+ 1/3
___________________
2/3

2/3 = 0.666666666....
+ 1/3

3/3

3/3 = 0.999999999....

0.9999999~ is just the value that represents "the highest amount possible without being one. As close as you can get to a whole without being a whole." That's the best Arabic numerals in base 10 can come to representing that amount. That doesn't mean the value is the same as 1.

But this thought experiment DOES expose a minor flaw in our numbering system.

And yet "point 9 repeating" is nowhere useful as a replacement for 1.
