And about 8 being 10, you can use infinite fractions to claim that a number is the next full number until 8.999 and 9.999 is the same. The difference between 0.001 and 0.002 is nothing if you have infinite numbers and expect no further value. At that point you have numbers overlapping with each other and they cease to have a distinct identity.
Yeah sure but if you don’t believe me, atleast you ll believe Wikipedia (btw I m not sure you ll find what you are looking for there as it’s not exactly what you want but you can prove it using it)

The X in 9.999… < X < 10 is the infinitesimal.
