Though, because sampi looks like an arc rather than a whole circle (and tau represents the whole), I'd think sampi would actually make a better substitute for pi. It topologically even looks like a stretched out pi. Though, I see that when used in math, it apparently already has a mathematical value of 900 (rather than 3.14 or 6.28). Whatever it is called, we seem to agree the cake is definitely better defined as 6.28 than 1/2 6.28. Interesting thought to use Sampi, which even looks like a part of a circle.
