I wouldn't say i understand this, how can they be equivalent quantites if there's 0.0000...01 of a difference? Surely they are different quantities no matter how minute the difference?
since 0.0000...1 equals zero, then there is zero difference
The difference is not "minute". The difference is infinitely small, which is another way of saying that there is no difference at all. It's not the same thing as a difference tending to zero.
