Sorry, but I'm not sure what your correction is here. I stated an 1897 bill, Indiana House of Reps unanimous acceptance and redefining pi. Your link includes the following statements:

• In 1897 Representative T.I. Record of Posen county introduced House Bill #246 in the Indiana House of Representatives.
• The latter committee gave the bill a "pass" recommendation and sent it on to the full House, which approved it unanimously, 67 to 0.
• Goodwin and Record apparently couldn't handle the fact that pi was not a rational number. "Since the rule in present use [presumably pi equals 3.14159...] fails to work ..., it should be discarded as wholly wanting and misleading in the practical applications," the bill declared. Instead, mathematically inclined Hoosiers could take their pick among the following formulae...

Which of the statements in my previous post was impugning the 'proper interests of science' specifically?
