Nothing triggers a math nerd faster than butchering π. The value shown (2.210112) is so wildly off from the actual 3.14159... that it's basically mathematical blasphemy. It's like telling an astronomer the moon is made of cheese or a chemist that you can turn lead into gold with a microwave. The visceral reaction is perfect—because in the world of constants, this is the mathematical equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. Even engineers who happily round π to 3 would have a stroke seeing this monstrosity.
