But seriously, pi is probably a Seer conspiracy or something, man! Pi's meant to keep our mathematics from reaching the full height of beauty and elegance.

So, I've seen this before, and I still think the simple argument that avoiding fractions wherever possible beats out tau for ease of learning. 2pi is much easier to work with than tau/2 because that little bar is going to intimidate children across the world when they need to find the areas of circles.
