99.999...% is as far away from 100% as 1% is if 100% = infinity

the concept of infinity was not what i was saying it should approach, merely that if you were to TEST the concept an infinate number of times and 100 was the real number that would display an absolute flawless fact then each recurrance of 99.99 would be closer to 100 than its predecesser as sure as 99 is closer to 100 than 98.
if you were to try appreaching infinity than indeed it would not matter how far you go you still have infinity to keep going.

if you were to test a brick to see if its alive your entire lifetime,, and someone comes along and says, "well it might be alive if you check again.." you can check the brick for life all the way up to an infinite number of times, the likelihood of you finding out that the brick is alive is still unchanged,

the number arguement was merely used to represent the arguement where 100% is definate proof,
If you use infinity as the top point that you are approaching it does not make sense as you can stick anything at that infinity point and subsequently show it as probable as not existing, even ourselves, because 0 is acheivable and infinity is not.
