Oh, it's worse than that. It is completely unacceptable. It makes this so-called equation total gibberish. To use the symbol pi as a variable? Excuuuse me? After that, I see no sense in further discussion. Talking to "Orion" is like talking to a robot anyway, one that needs a serious upgrade to its language module.
