A much simpler way of thinking about it is: What is the chance that if I pick an infinite number of random natural numbers between 0 and 9 that all of them are 0? You're missing the repeating fractions but it gets the flavor of what's actually happening across much better than a Lebesgue integral.

Hmm... if I pick an infinite number of random natural numbers between 0 and 9 and all of them are 0, can you prove they aren’t random?
