Do you believe the 10^(10^(10^100))th decimal digit of Pi has a certain definite value,

If so, would you still believe this if you knew that this number is too difficult to
ever compute by anyone in this universe?
Does this not point to a discontinuity between mathematical truth and conceivably of
that truth by us limited creatures with limited minds in a limited universe? Perhaps it
does take faith to believe that digit takes a certain value between 0 and 9, but it's
easier for me to accept that on faith than the converse (that it is not any one of those
digits).
That supports my contention that mystics insist on making up answers even about things
that are */defined/* as unknowable. How do you feel about, "That's a meaningless question."
