Wouldn't it be like 9.99 into infinity? ๐Ÿค” and since the human population (at least currently living) is not infinete, then at some 9.999999 there wouldn't be anyone with a higher value? (I don't know math)

0.9999... is equal to 1, so no

no, not really. In engineering math, sure but theoretical math it's not
