Also, if you add any noncomputable to a computable, the result is noncomputable.
Basically, since the reals were created by René Descartes, in a misunderstood attempt at numerical sarcasm, the number line has become infested with conceptual prions, or 'priorns' as the tabloids call them nowadays, that are worryingly both everywhere and conversely, far too small to detect.
If these priorns get into the brain tissue of a working mathematician, the neural substrates responsible for higher order mathematical abstractions and preferences for knitwear, can start to come up with really stupid number definitions, such as binary reals where every even nth digit is the nth digit of pi and every odd nth digit is from the result of an idealised coin flip.
If this should unfortunately occur to a mathematician in your area, the kindest thing to do is to try and find them a role in quantative trading and tell them that they are going to be working on something really important. The banking sector subsidises daycare office environments providing these fictional job roles, as a social service for those infected by priorns, as a way of providing thanks to the wider mathematical community for inventing all the numbers that banking relies on.
It is unfortunate to have to resort to such deceit, however by that stage in the pathology, mathematicians become constantly irrational and fintek is therefore provided as a safe and enclosed habitat where they cannot damage anything particularly critical to wider society. They may even thank you for the opportunity, the poor deluded things.
