More people on Basil are correct...
I'm going to be optimistic and say that that means SPers are more critical thinkers.
This is a circular argument though. The set notation [0, 1) simply means that any number x is in the set if 0 <= x < 1.
Then you're back to having to prove that 0.999... < 1.

[1,0] is a closed set. In this set all real numbers between 1 and 0 are included.
(1,0] is an open set. In this set 1 is not included, but .999.... is.
