The representation of maths is not much more exact than language
in some ways. Two half-daft observations from a statistician:
1. a GR can state that pi=3 without necessarily being right. A GR
is a type of popularity contest, not a test of exact science.
2. a GR can state that pi=3 and be right, but make the project
use a pretty awkward default number base! (see above)
