Every argument on radians you presented applies equally well to Tau as Pi.
My original point is that IMHO, mainstream radian educational materials should NOT use the lesser-known and niche 'tau' in lieu of the globally understood 'pi' (other than a possible footnote or sidebar). Ie - it can cause more confusion to the student, especially when connecting it back to the greater scope of their studies.
- jameshart 11y agoI wasn't addressing your tau/pi issue, but rather your assertion that if you understand '90 degrees' that you should be able to understand radians. That seems like a case of 'well I find it simple, why doesn't everyone else?'
