Similarly, this girl is just saying that in some cases, it would be easier to use tau. Would it be more convenient in all situations? Well no, but she has a good point in the fact that in some applications (like the examples she had shown), the use of tau might be more simple and also make more sense. I'm not taking sides or anything, I'm still going to stick with traditional pi, but I think this girl has some validity to her point.

not really
