Re: I REST MY CASE
You're all (with the occasional exception of nwr) talking nonsense about math.
This prevents you from addressing an interesting question such as that raised in the OP.
It is fortunate for you that mathematics is merely an intellectual discipline rather than a religion, or I should burn most of you at the fucking stake.
Instead of being wrong about math, why don't you try being right about the OP?
Gawsh, an explanation on where and how they were wrong would've been an interesting read.

Re: I REST MY CASE
(And, personally, I wouldn't mind being corrected... fastest way to learn things I know of)
That the biggest possible circle ever wouldn't allow us to scientifically measure the pi ratio down to the 50th decimal place, but we can still calculate what it precisely is shows that not every objective thing can be scientifically investigated.

I thought I'd done that.
Well you didn't.
