Yeah. Infinity can never be reached. That .9 keeps trying to be 1, but it'll never arrive. It's like Zeno's Paradox.

Clearly a train will arrive even though the logic behind it having to cover half the distance to the end with each step implies it can't.
Clearly .9 repeating doesn't equal 1, yet for all intents and purposes it does.
