So there's a bunch of fuss over whether some people want to make up a symbol for twice the value of another symbol? I fail to see either how that makes pi "wrong" or why anyone should care.

Mathematician Alexandru Ionescu at Princeton University says:

"Either one is just fine, it won't make any difference to mathematics."​

It's just about picking a convention that better reflects reality. Why have a constant that counts half the turn of a circle when you could use one that does a full turn?
