When your math problem has a nice clean radical like √x? Mathematicians swoon and call it an "exact solution" despite it being just as approximate as anything else when you calculate it numerically.
But dare to present an arbitrary polynomial or trig function as an "exact solution" and suddenly you're getting desperate calls to HR! The hypocrisy!
It's mathematical discrimination at its finest—where √2 gets the red carpet treatment while sin(π/7) gets treated like it showed up to a black-tie event wearing sweatpants. Both are irrational numbers that need approximation in practice, but only one gets the mathematical seal of approval!
