That’s allowed in mathematical iterations like 1, 2, 3, ..., 10

From the typographical point of view you have to insert a space between the last character and the ellipse:

Huey …

You have to omit the space if you “cut off” a word, for examp…

Can´t we all just agree that putting a full stop after an ellipsis is contradictory because it is like indicating there was something more but then stating there really is not?

Yes, but question marks and exclamation marks are allowed:

He said …!
What’s the …?

In that case however the … stands for “yada-yada-yada” (i.e. leaving out something specific instead of leaving an ending unclear).

That’s why the full stop after the elision is beatiful. It sums up the human nature.
