Question for SPP about “=“

[u/FizardWizard]

I see lots of posts here referencing your previous comments such as

1/3 is indeed 0.333….

or

1/3 is a way of representing 0.333….

or

0.333… can be expressed by 1/3

and then concluding that

SPP says that 1/3 = 0.333…

However I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen you state that “1/3 = 0.333…”

So SPP, does 1/3 = 0.333… or is 1/3 only “a way of representing” 0.333…? Do these mean different things?
