Youtube Summary

Correction: when I mark where pi is on the graph, I meant pi/2!
Note: If this video were supposed to be teaching you, I'd probably have to make it boring and say that in one sense of limits, spoiler alert, you actually do approach a circle and a line, solving the apparent paradox by saying that the invariant of length does not hold over infinity. Luckily I am an artist, and this is a Rhapsody, and instead of "learning," you get to actually think, if you like.

I didn't say it was incorrect, I said that the audience should always fact check. I am also not saying it is correct. Boolean logic has stunted our minds. There is not only true and false. There is true, false, unknown, and undefined.
