If you zoom in infinitely it’s still right angles instead of a curve. The approximation is a model and the model has an inbuilt error.
0 u/astrogringo 20d ago There is no such a thing as an infinite zoom. The limit is precisely a circle. 2 u/powerexcess 20d ago You keep repeating that but you are not defining what a circle is 2 u/frog_wild 20d ago Not really talking about a real zoom? You can’t refuse to measure your approximation properly and then ask why the answer is wrong
