Pi Rebel

One who insists on using the number π to a certain (oft-higher) degree of accuracy in a calculation in opposition to an assigned approximate value, with an infinitesimal or quasi-zero effect on the final answer—a case of exhibiting numerical pride rather than promoting reasonable accuracy.

What are the odds that pi rebels are likely to be haughty nerds who are symbol-minded attention seekers or suckers?
