You miss the point. If the sum is undefined, what the heck is the

It's an alternative notation for .3 + .03 + .003 + ... . They
both denote the limit of the series Sigma 3 * 10^-n as n increases
n=1
without bound.

I guess you meant:

n
both denote the limit of the series Sigma 3 * 10^-i as n increases
i=1
without bound.
