Exponent of 0.999… (33 nines) collapses to 0.99995 within a day of prediction

Konsti Wohlwend joked that his prediction was too conservative: the exponent he flagged — 0.999… with 33 nines — fell to 0.99995 within a single day, versus his "weeks to months" forecast. Igor Carron shared it with "And they fall...", a fresh punchline for the meme that every exponential curve eventually regresses.
