I was always under the impression that pi was merely the ratio of the circumference to the diameter, something that's easy enough to prove empirically (measure the two, and do the maths).

Hey Tim, didn't you read a hidden ROTFLMAO between the lines above? :-D
Well, somewhere along the line I suspect there's a bit of "that guy was nuts" in the reasoning for referring to him. But you're never quite sure, when someone refers to something like that, if they were taking him seriously.
Now, I was the one referring to that site - I admit, with some irony in mind. Without any irony this time: I took my math degree 35 years ago, so my basics might be somewhat rusty, but they are fresh enough to know that such a treatise is not worth to be read on after the first page. Klaus
