Veritas. Calm down.

Read what I said.

You said the bible uses rounding.

I said

"31 would be rounding. 30 is well off."

The bible gives the circumference as 30, the diameter as 10.

The circumference of a circle with a diameter of 10, when rounded, is 31, not 30.

This is elementary level maths.

I am not claiming, nor have I ever claimed, that 3.14 rounds to 4.
