To be precise, replace "Pi approximation" to "best double precision value of Pi, truncated to 48 bits mantissa"

Best double precision value of Pi = 0x0.c90fdaa22168c0P+2
Truncated 48 bits mantissa, float = 0x0.c90fdaa22168P+2
Convert to decimal, you get "3.1415926535897824578569270670413970947265625" ... Exactly
Great!
but... the decimal is still "over-accurate", not rounded to 14.4 decimals.
