Regarding 21 you are objectively right with regards to practicality, but it still feels wrong to me when such integers aren't written in full.

Of-course, the biggest problem here is where to draw the line. Why 1000 digits? Why not 1001 or 2000 or 10,000? And the flip side: why not less than 1000? There's no sharp point where it becomes impractical to write the full decimal expansion. The vagueness of the boundary is part of the reason this is so irritating.

And it gets the most annoying when I'm the one who needs to make the call (which happens about twice a week whenever I update the value of PEGG).
