You are wrong in you're reasoning. from wikipedia:
"[Pi] represents the ratio of any circle
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle>'s circumference to its diameter in
Euclidean geometry <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_geometry>,
which is the same as the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its
radius."
the number Pi is just a representation of said ratio, and any decimal
representation of it is _not_ Pi itself but an approximation of it.
3.14 is not Pi but a number that is close to Pi, that's all.
