Physical reality has a lot of little exceptions like that too. Compression is really strong until it buckles - totally different formula. Most materials compress when they freeze - but water expands. Forget turbulence, man. What’s the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter? That’s right, a silly nonsense number.
edit: was curious about this so I went looking and found a stackexchange thread on the topic. It was Euler’s identity and the gaussian integral I was thinking of that relates those two numbers.

And another silly nonsense number we decided to call “E” keeps popping up all over the place in nature/ the universe, for no discernable reason.
iirc, e and pi are actually somewhat related
