→‎Andrew Schlafly's "Proof by Induction": So pi is in pi for any large representation of pi, and that remains true as pi approaches infinity, right? This asymptotic approach of a subset of pi to pi itself is essentially the same as saying pi contains
Line 259: Line 259:     
::I am at a loss concerning the proof by induction though - if we start at one digit, then to two, adding one repeatedly, that number will still be an integer, a real number, which (as stated in [[infinity]]) cannot be infinity.  No matter how large it gets, it's still a finite number.  This proves it for all integers n, but infinity isn't in the set of integers.  It's beyond! ha ha (that's my attempt at levity) [[User:AlChesapeake|AlChesapeake]] September 4, 2021

Andy, do you really think that it is  a good idea to link to the above section '''on a talk-page''' from the main article on [[pi|π]]? And please, read the discussion! (ups, that was the second sentence of this paragraph - you probably already started skipping...) --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 05:23, August 3, 2021 (EDT)
