Just because you have a sequence, doesn't mean you can talk about the end infinite state at the "end" of the sequence. That is EXACTLY the logic you are trying to use, you have two sequences that seem to go to the same infinte set at the end, and these both seem to result in different values when they are only treated as finite sequences. Thus, your "logic" also shows that 1 == 0, and thus your logic has blown itself up.
