The unholy approximation of π=3 is enough to summon mathematical demons. Engineers regularly commit this numerical sin for "close enough" calculations while mathematicians shriek in horror. The difference between 3.14159... and 3 might seem trivial until your bridge collapses or your rocket misses Mars by a few million miles. But hey, significant digits are just suggestions, right? Pure mathematicians are still in therapy over this.
