Which is better way to find the area of a circle?

1. pi X radius squared, written with soot on some pressed reeds

2. Take all the known areas of all known circles that have ever been, stuff them into a tokenized data base, power up a nuclear reactor to crunch the numbers, then give an approximate answer that's judged to be right 81% of the time by slaves employed in a sweatshop in Ghana, then present the results at a board meeting while the ice caps melt?

@beeoproblem When everything is shareholder value, this amounts to the same thing.

RIP Math.💀
