@SmartmanApps@dotnet.social @LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world I hope nobody takes any source as absolute truth, be it wikipedia or anything else. It's still a great list and a fun starting point to learn new things.
Also, I disagree with your counterexample. 🙂

@sandyarmstrong@hachyderm.io @LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world "I hope nobody takes any source as absolute truth" - Maths has proofs, therefore absolutely true. The page including the claim that 0.(9)=1 paradoxically includes the proof that it can never equal 1 - it's a hyperbola with an asymptote of 1 😂 "I disagree with your counterexample" - you can disagree all you want and you'll still be proven wrong by the Maths of infinite sums and hyperbolic graphs, both of which we teach to high school students
