While the decimals for these numbers may never be exact, they become beyond accurate for our needs. The infinite nature of the decimal that would best represent these numbers makes them accurate to any inifinite level of nesting within the number line. This would in fact make them considerably well suited for the use we have for them.

I do not share you perception or observation that any such thing has occured.
