Pi is not the only irrational number, Phi is as well infinite and all encompassing.
I found the matter to be less of one of correction and more of an opportunity to segway into a brief education of additional interesting and important numbers. Pi is more commonly used in everyday mathematics, whereas numbers such as Phi tend to remain unknown to people other than scholars, which is a pity, really, knowledge is a wonderful thing and we should all strive to learn as much as we can.
