Does .999999 = 1 vPOLL

ugh, i don’t want to get into this, but the correct answer would be circumstantial.

A little bit of engineering background first. Anytime something thats engineered and affects human safety has a “Factor of Safety” applied to it. A Saftey factor of 1 means that is the minimum design for load and a safe operation providing it’s a perfect world and there are no defects in material, workmanship, mother nature, etc.

That being said, If I were engineering a bridge that every one of you had to cross over would you cross it if you knew it only had a safety factor of .9999?

In my world, .9999 and 1 are a completely different.

Figures don’t lie and liars can figure.
