And this is a problem why?

Two people found my review useful... there will likely be more.
I owe that much to perspective buyers.

To you. Doesn't make sense TO YOU.
Is something not making sense to you what you call a disproof?

Given the definition of pi:
pi = C/d

Since either C, d or both must be an irrational input number then pi
will be irrational number as well.

Of course pi is an irrational number. So would be the circumference of
a circle of diameter 1.
But YOU said that irrational numbers aren't right answers. Is the pi
circumference of a circle of diameter 1 the right answer or not the
right answer?
