Find the Error: Taylor Series

It is a beautiful Spring morning. You know the drill. You. Your friends. Nerdy happiness. Wild-eyed gentleman.

“The Taylor Series for ln(1+x) is given by”

You assent, as is your role, and then he drops the bomb.

“This series converges when x = 1. Therefore:”

He continues: “Now we simplify and rearrange and come to the conclusion you knew we would.”

Oh no this is horrible etc. Find the error.
