          That excerpt does nothing even similar to claiming the definition makes things clear.

          I have no idea what l is, but given the context of axiomatization of arithmetic, I'm almost sure the author picked a fair and precise example.

            Except... that it doesn't. Serious question: am I OOTL on a joke?

            Edit: I totally missed that it was an approximately sign. Derp.

              It's 8.0000000729, which approximates to 8. Why do you think it doesn't?

                  Probably didn't notice it doesn't say "equals". It's easy to overlook the wavy part.

                    Do you work in a field where 7*10^-8^ differences matter?
                    Cause most fields I know don't mind an error margin that small (granted I don't know a lot)

                      Oh, yup! I totally missed the approximately sign.
