And how was RWP's source validated?
He made a statement that there was an unnamed group in Kansas that was somehow campaigning for changing the value of pi to 3. I suspect it was either a hoax or a practical joke. I asked for the reference and I was shown a picture of a book.
Now, would you accept that as "validation"?
...and a promise that when I get home and have the book in front of me, I would give you more details. It would have been honest to acknowledge that.
...and, of course, long before you, I said it was possible the pi=3 movement was intended as dry humor. It would have been honest to acknowledge that too.
