Hi OP here. Thank you so much for pointing that out. That was a big mistake I made while trying to bring readers to a different way of viewing limit, which can be useful as an introduction to the (ε, δ)-definition. Yes, limit shouldn't be defined this way, which was the reason why I used the expression "
can be viewed" rather than "
is" at the start. But I got too carried away and forgot to clarify that there're cases when we shouldn't view it such way.
So I would like to thank you once again for letting me know about this huge mistake of mine that I failed to notice. I was busy and didn't see your comment until now. I have just added clarification for that in the article.
The reason why there's so little about limit in this article was that I intended to go through the limit section as quick as possible and get started on differentiation and integration, which are what most readers are on my page for. On a second thought I decided to at least pen down the (ε, δ)-definition, and so I added the blockquote with the "biggest/smallest-impossible" analogy which unfortunately ended being the last thing you saw in my article before you closed your tab. I'm actually planning on writing another article, one specially for the concept of limit, covering topics from continuity, existence of limit (as you mentioned) and one-sided limit to sequence and taylor series to limit point, neighborhood and a bit of topology.
