I think that's correct.

But that wouldn't work either. The problem is that there is an infinite volume of circles with ~2 as the circumference inside the unit circle. (Volume in x,y,r space, and, consequently in the proposed probability distribution as well.) So this proposed probability distribution gives infinity, when summed up.
