The mathematical trauma is real. In scientific notation, "one significant figure Pi" would indeed be just 3, brutally rounding off the infinite decimal places of π (3.14159...) that mathematicians have spent centuries calculating. Every time a physicist approximates π as 3, a mathematician somewhere feels a disturbance in the force. Engineers might sleep soundly with π = 3, but pure mathematicians wake up in cold sweats.
