Your way of thinking makes sense but you're interpreting it wrong.
If you can round up and say "0,9_ = 1" , then why can't you round down and repeat until "0 = 1"? The thing is, there's no rounding up, the 0,0...1 that you're adding is infinitely small (inexistent).
It looks a lot less unintuitive if you use fractions:
1/3 = 0.3_
0.3_ * 3 = 0.9_
0.9_ = 3/3 = 1
0 cost defect decks. I'll never refuse an early claw, and trying to force it leads to a pathetic loss almost every time, but the 1 in 20 runs where it works is so worth it
