Engineers discovering increasingly worse approximations of π is the mathematical equivalent of finding out Santa isn't real. First, they're introduced to π (3.14159...) and think "cool, a fancy number." Then they learn 22/7 (≈3.14) and go "close enough for my calculations!" But the absolute MIND-EXPLOSION happens when they discover some madlad decided 21/7 (=3) was acceptable. That's like approximating a circle with a hexagon and calling it a day. Engineers: where precision meets "eh, good enough."
