Really, though, this is like saying Planck's constant is wrong, and the correct constant is h-bar.

They're numbers, it doesn't matter what they're named.

You'd have a point if all he was after was changing the letter we use to refer to 3.14159...
But he isn't. The issue is about the content, not the name of it.

Well, he's naming the number Pi x 2, so it's still all about nomenclature.
Hence my "pi is a lie" is a lie
