Sure, more important things to do. But isn't a minimal change to a plethora of formulas that simplifies things worth consideration? How far are you along the circumference of a circle? Or what's this angle in radians? Isn't Taur vs 2Pi*r easier both conceptually and computationally?

when i was doing graduate mathematics, i felt that there were just as many formulas that would be hurt by a change to tau as there were those helped by it. proponents of tau seem to cherry pick and don’t showcase everywhere that you’ll pick up tau/2, which is objectively more awkward than occurences of pi and 2*pi. switching to tau isn’t a change that is a global simplification.

Fair point. Can you share some more detailed examples?
