"In mathematics, one could easily fall in the trap of thinking that while 0.999... is certainly close to 1, nevertheless the two are not equal. Here's a proof that they actually are."
0,999... is irrational and so is the article. Basis on "the proof" that 0.9999...=1 one could argue that irrational is rational which is simply jargon.
