Is this really not an elaborate troll?

Arguing that a literal mathematical equivalence (e^ix = e^2piix) that you then use to “redefine“ trig functions so you can reformulate physics to mitigate making errors dividing my a constant is completely absurd.

In situations when there are strings involving 2pi where this makes any kind of sense typically a new constant is introduced to incorporate it.
