The Great Pi Approximation Debate

The Great Pi Approximation Debate

The eternal battle between mathematical purity and engineering practicality! Math professors have existential meltdowns when students dare approximate π as 22/7 (which is off by about 0.04%). Meanwhile, engineers are over here casually setting π equal to 3 and e equal to 3 too because "close enough" is their middle name. Who needs 15 decimal places when a bulldozer has a margin of error measured in inches? Precision is just a social construct when you've got safety factors of 2.5!
