Well, you don't have the problem with "real" real numbers, this problem 
is caused by approximating reals with rational numbers.

Of course, now the argument hinges on whether real numbers actually 
exist in physical reality or are merely theoretical constructs. But this 
is definitely OT so I'll stop now :)
