This comment is quite strange to me. e is the base of the natural logarithm. so ln 2 is actually log_e (2). If we take the natural log of 2, we are literally using its value as the base of a logarithm.
Does a number not matter "in practice" even if it's used to compute a more commonly use constant? Very odd framing.
