I don't know, do you find it elegant? It's like a goddamn footnote, that's the whole point!
For reference, you trotted out Euclid when you defined the circle. I only pointed out whom you referenced.
>And if you do find a few cases where π is super convenient (probably because you only care about half the rotation of something), feel free to substitute half tau. :)
