Refutation of the \"Language-Only\" Interpretation of Math (The limitations of science)

If pi is written in the intel chip as correct to 66 bits that's still way off being "exact". After all pi is a transcendental number that is expressed by a nonrecurring infinite decimal. Am I right in thinking that 66 binary digits is only equivalent to about 20 decimal digits? So there are still infinity minus twenty digits to come! If the algorithms always cut off at the same point to ensure they agree that's a bit of a cheat. Even with an accuracy of 66 bits I'm sure there are calculations that can be devised that will give an incorrect result because this is not sufficiently accurate. How about the 1000th root?
