The representation of maths is not much more exact than language in some ways. Two half-daft observations from a statistician: 1. a GR can state that pi=3 without necessarily being right. A GR is a type of popularity contest, not a test of exact science. 2. a GR can state that pi=3 and be right, but make the project use a pretty awkward default number base!
