If you ask a scientist what pi is, they will tell you it equals 3.14159. If you ask a mathematician, they will tell you pi equals the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. If you ask an engineer, they will say “about 3, but let's round it up to 5 to be safe.”
I'd replace scientist to something more precise like physicist because usually people consider mathematicians as scientists even if it depends on definitions.

Yikes!
... Wait, does this mean I can call a historian an artist? Then I'm game.
You can call them whatever you want, what are they going to do? They're historians!
In twenty years time they'll rip into me on r/askhistorians
Historians are scientists imo. Is that a reference I don't have?
Usually (in my experience?) history is one of the 'humanities', which are more lumped with arts than sciences.
Yes it usually is, but I think the methodologies for modern history research is very much scientific.
Feel free! I actually just googled it because I couldn't exactly remember it. I'd use contractions too and make it less formal sounding.
Thank you, I feel free now. Go get those other hostages now!
