You lost me as my only extensive exposure radians was milliradians when trying to get a rough idea of where an artillery shell might fall and even then, we couldn't say the entire word. Just mils. But what happens if you use that "formula" on any of the common 8th widths? 6/8 with a 3/16th spine width should give you pretty much the same result, right? Slightly "scientific" than trying to decide which coins to use and how many when figuring out the angle to use to sharpen your new Shun.
