What ? Incidentally I just answered this on QUORA: https://www.quora.com/How-can-pi-be-a-never-ending-number-when-it-is-used-to-define-a-circle/answer/Bruno-Marchal?ch=1&share=4236c19d&srid=jtPK&fbclid=IwAR1-ut9q-nbv6rrYZhgsCVWdEjyNxyL2FDt9ehsKNCZjRNWFPsyRjgh4-18 Mathematics is where the “indoctrination” is minimal. All the means of understanding are given. Are you saying that PI has a finite number of decimal, or that its irrationality is taught to kids without proof?
