I am wrong in thinking the circumference or the diameter of a circle has to be rational?

    It has nothing to do with the curve being weird. You’re working with two length, and a length of a curve is no different from a length of a radius. You can have a circle where the circumference is exactly 1. In that case it’s the radius that’s bringing in the irrationality.
