> This all makes sense, except for "Don't choose digits from your favorite irrational number"... You can choose whatever combination of numbers you want, and find it in your favorite irrational number if you search long enough

You're not reading it right. You don't disqualify digits for occurring consecutively in the expansion of an irrational number. You disqualify digits if the method you used to pick them was to think of an irrational number and extract some of the digits. That is a method that other people can also use.

> the smile at the end indicates he was joking

This is not a universal convention.

[arolihas]

It doesn’t have to be.

[thaumasiotes]

And in the instant context, it is not suggested at all.

[arolihas]

Good thing we have more than instant context then :)

[thaumasiotes]

No, we don't? Perhaps you're not familiar with the meaning of "instant"?
