If I
were to come at an entity with pi in some form it could understand, and
it were to come back with sq.rt. 2 in some form I could understand,
what could be derived from this is "we know you are out there, let's
talk".

That gave me a wonderful image of you at a party...

"3.14159"
"1.41421"
"OK, you're clearly self-aware so I'll talk to you. Hi, I'm Peter..."
