Another one:

| When you declare a constant such as PI using the method shown above,
| each machine your script runs upon can have as many digits of accuracy
| as it can use. Also, your program will be easier to read, more likely to
| be maintained (and maintained correctly), and far less likely to send a
| space probe to the wrong planet because nobody noticed the one equation
| in which you wrote 3.14195.
