Some of them are indeed oversimplifications. They are not always valid and do not necessarily lead to a conservation law.

 

However since you refuse to answer my question here are the words of your guru on the subject I asked you about.

Lindenberg

2. Radius is generally a more significant dimension than diameter. 
So, an important number defined as the circumference divided by the
radius of a circle (as τ is) makes more sense than one defined as the
circumference divided by the diameter (as π is).  In other words, C =
τr is simpler than C = 2πr.

 

So have you ever met the half-side of a cube ?

Of course one half-side times another half-side (of a cube) gives you the area of a quarter side

Whereas

A whole side times a whole side gives the area of a whole side.

Much more pleasing, yes ?

Is there something wrong with discussing radii and diameters ?

Did you miss where I said “a composite system can have p=0 and have kinetic energy”

It’s a problem when you indiscriminately mix scalars and vectors

It’s also limited to the other variable (mass, in this case) being held constant. So it’s contrived. It’s cherry-picking examples to fit a narrative. A silly narrative, IMO because these terms commute, so it doesn’t matter where the factor of 2 lives.

I propose to rewrite the volume equation for the non-euclidian spherical Universe in terms of tau (2π) instead of π.

I'm far ahead of you. It's much more elegant to write Einstein's equations in terms of upsilon:

\[ \Upsilon=\frac{\tau}{3} = \frac{2}{3}\pi \]

Gravitation would suggest a banana peel. And don't forget 2/3 is the charge of the up, charm, and top quarks.

What can be more elegant than unifying bananas and quarks with gravitation?
