It's political. So is most of history. It might be interesting to note that Congress made Ohms law illegal at one time.

Some legislator (State or Fed) proposed changing the value of Pi to 3.0 to make life easier for students. Even with a "plan", they are still feakin' geniuses.

Really?

I would be extremely curious to find documentation on this.
"Science" has had its embarrassing moments for sure.
I believe it was Idaho which came within a vote or two in the legislature to decreeing that pi should be exactly 3.1, because it made computations and life easier for the mentally deficient...

It does not surprise me that Ohm's law was similarly attacked.
