The Gravitational Betrayal
The betrayal runs deep! Physics majors are expected to know that gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s², not the rounded 10 m/s² that engineers use for simplicity. It's like catching your own apprentice using the dark side of significant figures! The pain of watching someone who should uphold the precise standards of physics succumb to engineering approximations is just too much to bear. Next thing you know, they'll be saying π = 3 and calling it "close enough for practical applications."
