I hadn't been following the theta vs. phi thread. But when I noticed that
it was talking about the bowl whose circumference was 3 times its diameter,
I was reminded of an article that a guy sent me years ago that he had
written on this issue. Unfortunately, I have forgotten the author. He
believed that the bowl was hexagonal in shape,not round. If it was
hexagonal, then the circumference is indeed 6 times the 'diameter'. I
checked him out and found that he was correct. It very well might be that
this 'inaccurate pi' business is a strawman.
