Wow, you can turn off the snark when you need to! Great piece. You applied a standard of critical and quantitative thinking that you never see from people who are paid by billionaires to make up reasonable-sounding arguments for their nonsense.

So, this must be pi. I googled "search for a string of digits of pi" and found the page below which informs me that 04437805 appears in pi at position 7642 after the decimal point and agrees with your window shade beyond that. www.angio.net/pi/
