"pi = 3.14" is (a) infinitely faster than the "correct" answer and (b) the difference between the "correct" and the "wrong" answer is meaningless. And this is why I get upset when somebody dismisses performance issues based on "correctness". -- Linus Torvalds

You should deal with reality, not what you wish reality was. -- Linus Torvalds
