For those that don't, if you start with a triangle, turn it into a square, a pentagon, a hexagon, and so on, eventually the limit as the number of sides approaches infinity produces a circle and that limit is the source of the derivation of pi. It isn't just flip-flopping. He's got more sides than a circle.
