I could express it like so:
The proposition starts with ( 1 - 1 ) + ( 1 - 1 ) + ( 1 - 1 ) = 0
Then expands it, but it does so ignoring the last part. We can make the same infinite expansion keeping the representation of the last part, like so:
( 1 - 1 ) + ( 1 - 1 ) + ... + ( 1 - 1 ) = 0 , instead of ( 1 - 1 ) + ( 1 - 1 ) + ... = 0
If we take the (-1) from the new representation, we can see that in reality what we get is:
1 - (1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + ... + 1 - 1 + 1) = 0
while the 1 - (1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + ... ) = 0 notation makes it look like if the series ends, in the infinite, like
1 - (1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + ... + 1 - 1 ) = 0
Which is not the true form of the first proposed series.
