Thank your “devil” heh!-— for all practical uses the 22/7 or 3 1/7 expressed as 3.14159 is sufficient.

If you really want to go full chinese torture the “Zu” number in the 5th Century calculated as being “between” 3.1415926 and 3.1415927 and then someone “proved” that 355/113 as an approximation was greater than π!

On and on. And of course global warming by (?) is absolutely causing permanent climate change proven by computer “data” extrapolations.
