We might all take the opportunity to pontificate with respect to our own 
particular visions, down to every detail.

Mine is one where the significance of the relationship of the 
circumference of a circle to its diameter is taught and understood in PI 
squared different ways, including - importantly -  as history. The 
calculation to x digits being the least important or interesting - 
something a mere machine can accomplish with a little help.
