I don't think you understand what infinitesimally means! It means the opposite- you want to use 'infinitely' there. Because you're kinda agreeing with me otherwise xD
Now, not being a condescending asshole, I really take issue with you calling an approximation a 'lie'. And honestly, who's multiplying decimal points mentally? That's difficult. Use a calculator. Want to avoid calculators for an exam? Simplify! That's why they use 5 and not 3.14.

I was typing in a rush and mistyped, but you understand what I meant.

That's a bullshit excuse. 3 could be argued but 5 is straight disinformation. And I do multiplication of decimals in my head because I was taught how to in school, that's how far behind the US system is.
That's impressive. Mental math isn't one of my talents to be honest. And let's agree to disagree about the disinformation.
It's a skill like any other, you have to be taught it to learn it, and you need practice to get better.
Lots of skills in the world, some more useful than others.
I find the basic building blocks of comprehension to be important.
