I tend to feel like arguing about 0.999... is a bit of a cheat, because really it isn't so much that the rigorous proof is obscure, it's that the *rigorous definition* is obscure. And then I feel like I'm telling people "ah-hah, you are wrong, because I am using a different definition than you! And normally switching around definitions is not a valid rhetorical technique, but it is valid in this case because this is Maths, which you were taught in school is the incomprehensible domain of people who know the secret code, which I do! So you must trust me!"

*cough* Right, err, I'll go lay down for a bit.
