Any claim that an irrational decimal number exists is silly.

Pi has to be the limit of the serie

3/1, 31/10, 314/100, 3141/1000, 31415/10000, ...

If you claim the existence of an irrational decimal number you claim
the existence of the number

31415.../10000...

with infinite numerator and inifite denominator.
