From the discussion, some people would say that difference between 0.999.... and 1 is so small it can be ignored.

If you had a $15 million boat, would you rather miss an iceberg by the difference between the two or by ignoring it, sink your boat?
It may be infinitesimally (sp?) small, but the difference is still there.
