Do you deny that "123456798" *is* "a sequence containing all nine
numbers"?

Does this mean that "123456789" *is* "123456798" by the transitive
property? NO.

There are multiple different meanings of the word "is" here, and the
particular one that applies here does not mean it can be substituted for
the more general description in a sentence about the probability of
getting a member of the set of such sequences.
