This implies that what came before was a coincidence (without ever actually explicitly saying so). As already mentioned in the trivia section, this was indeed what was believed when the comic was published, but it is no longer true (an explanation for e<sup>π</sup> − π ≈ 20 was found in 2023). The text should be updated accordingly. Relevant discussion about this can be found on {{w|Talk:Mathematical_coincidence#Explaining_e^%CF%80_%E2%88%92_%CF%80_%E2%89%88_20|this Wikipedia talk page}}, [https://pastebin.com/VzqPG5Gk here], and in the update eventually made to the [https://mathworld.wolfram.com/AlmostInteger.html Mathworld website] (the original source for much of this article).
