The eternal divide between theoretical precision and practical application! Mathematicians obsess over significant digits while engineers just need something that works. That wide-eyed "Yes" response perfectly captures the engineer's mindset of "whatever number makes this bridge not collapse is good enough for me." The beauty of engineering isn't in decimal places—it's in the glorious approximation that gets the job done without anyone dying. π = 3? Close enough if the rocket still flies!
