How is the latter excluded?
Consider the sequence f(n) = trunc(pi*10^n)/10^n
While there are some successive lines which are equal (where the decimal expansion of pi has 0 digits), for every n there is an m, with n < m, such that f(n) < f(m) < pi.

False for my example above. > > Hence we prove that all of pi, that is contained in at least one of > the finite lines of your list, is contained in one single line.
False for my example above.
And equally false for f(n) = trunc(x*10^n)/10^n with any real x which has a non-terminating decimal expansion.
