Why this is marked as abuse? It has been marked as abuse.
Report not abuse
The fallacy that 0.999... and 1 are the same number continues to be propagated by the BIG STUPID (mainstream academics). It is important for aspiring young students of mathematics to understand why this is false. It is wrong for many reasons, but the root cause is that mythmaticians still do not understand what is a number. They have never understood. Sadly, most are incapable or too brainwashed to reach a knowledge of the truth.

What newcomers to sci.math should know about Psycho Troll John Gabriel, in his own words as posted here at sci.math:

JG's God Complex:

"I am the Creator of this galaxy."
-- March 19, 2015

"I am the last word on everything."
-- May 6, 2015

"Whatever I imagine is real because whatever I imagine is well defined."
-- March 26, 2015

"Unless I think it's logic, it's not... There are no rules in mathematics... As I have repeatedly stated, if there were to be rules, I'd be making the rules."
-- March 17, 2015


JG's Final Solution:

"Hitler was a genius and a very talented artist... As from a moral point of view, again his actions can't be judged, because his morals are different." (Like JG's morals?)
-- March 18, 2015

"I will point out a few facts about Hitler that most of you arrogant idiots didn't know or refused to acknowledge because your Jewish overlords do not allow you...

"Unfortunately, Hitler's henchmen got the wrong Jews...

(Note: When repeatedly asked if they should have gotten Jews like Albert Einstein, JG has refused to comment. You figure it out, folks.)

"It would be a very good idea to round up all the academic idiots, gas them and incinerate the useless lot. Only those that pass John Gabriel's exam should be allowed to live." (Charming fellow.)
-- July 13, 2014


JG's Just Plain Stupid:

"1/0 is not undefined."
-- May 19, 2015

"1/3 does NOT mean 1 divided by 3 and never has meant that"
-- February 8, 2015

"The square root of 2 and pi are NOT numbers."
-- May 28, 2015

"By definition, a line is the distance between two points."
-- April 13, 2015

"So, 'is a member of' = 'is a subset of.'"
-- May 16, 2015

"There is no such thing as a continuous real number line."
-- March 24, 2015

"Indeed, there is no such thing as an instantaneous speed -- certainly not with respect to the calculus." (Note: Instantaneous speed is indicated by the speedometer in a car. Another Jewish conspiracy, JG?)
-- March 17, 2015

"Proofs had nothing to do with calculus."
-- May 30, 2015


In his wacky system, JG cannot even prove that 2+2=4. It seems unlikely he would have anything worthwhile to say about mathematics. On the contrary, it seems he is deliberately trying to mislead and confuse any newcomers here.

The online debates simply continue with no end in sight. Most young students reject this anti-mathematical Cantorian crap while academic ignoramuses continue to propagate their feces.

Ask yourself why most people doubt the truth of this fallacy. Could it be that when they see shit, they recognise it as shit? Chuckle.

Most people??? In your dreams, Troll Boy!

Maybe, if you could finally prove that 2+2=4, people would begin to be take seriously.

Ask yourself whether online polls are a reliable way to establish
mathematical truth.

Since | 1 - 0.999... | < 1/10^n for every n in |N,
there are no REAL numbers between 1 and 0.999...

Er, no. Bad logic. 0.999... would have to be a number before you can argue there are no numbers between 1 and 0.999...

Tsk, tsk.

Who cares about polls - online or otherwise? Where did you read about polls in my comment? Delusional much?

Until JG has found a natural number n for which | 1 - 0.999... | >= 1/n,
1 and 0.999... will remain closer to equal than JG is to sanity!

At the top of the page there's a lovely graphic giving "Poll Results".
Like so:

View Poll Results: Is 0.999... exactly equal to one?

Voters
74. You may not vote on this poll

Yes, they are equal.
40 54.05%

No, they are not equal.
34 45.95%

You can't even keep straight what your own page looks like.

As you correctly noted in an earlier comment, online polls don't mean anything. The idiots are usually in the majority.

That wasn't my point. I didn't bother to look at what the majority
was. My point was that when _I_ said something about online polls
being meaningless you were dismissive and insulting about the idea
that I even mentioned the word "poll" in regard to that page.
Now it turns out that there's a poll right there.

Really?! You actually mean you had a "point" ?!! NOOOOO! Chuckle.
