Here is another way of how it can equal 1.
0.999... + 0.000... with a 1 on the end = 1
You can't argue that or else you're just a troll.
But 0.000... with a 1 on the end goes on forever with 0's and therefore the 1 never reaches, thus making it 0.
0.999... does not move at all, therefore does not go up to reach 1 as it is just 1 number and does not change in anyway.
So what appears to be 0.999... + 0.000... 1 is actually 1+0 which is 1.

If I use your $100 bill as an example of your wierd logic. If I snip a part off and leave 0.99999999999999999999...... remaining of the bill then the bill isn't a whole is it?
If I cut off 1 degrees off a circle making the revolution only 359 degrees then the circle isn't whole isn't it? Which then we'd use the dimensioning in radius. Only use diameter if the circle is a full revolution of 360 degrees.
Even if the slightest of pieces of something is taken off then that entire thing isn't a whole anymore. Your body isn't a whole because you snip off your hair and finger nails. You yourself aren't 1, you are more like .9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999...
LOL are you for real?
Okay then cut off a piece of a $100 bill and leave 0.999...
However much you cut off, no matter how small, will have left you with less than 0.999... of the note left.
