That raises an interesting question:  if this is true, then pi may be
a phenomenon of external sources.  For example, pi could be equal to
2.0... on a curved surface, namely a sphere (equator and the
longitudinal diameter through the pole = 2.0).  There is something
that keeps pi on a flat surface to give it it`s irrational value.
(How can you be sure of your measure without the concept of "perfectly
flat"?)
