Convinced me that PI is in fact wrong.

I had thought myself sometimes why there was always 2PI everywhere and how PI was half a circle (instead of a whole). I was always eventually convinced by the PIr^2 = area function that PI must be correct. Also a lot of people thought about it for a long time right?

The example that many other surface area functions have 1/2 in them convinces me that the function should be 1/2 TAU * r^2.

Good luck convincing the rest of us degenerates.
