sequences and series - Is the “almost-identity” sumik=0nftyleft[pifrack2big/Gammaleft(frack2+1right)right]approx46 significant or a coincidence?

Recently, I read an article about “almost-identities”. It said, that for every “almost-identity” we have to decide whether it is a coincidence or not. By myself, I discovered that
k=0πk2Γ(k2+1)=eπ(1+erf(π))45.9993260894...
which is surprisingly close to 46. So my question is: is this a mere coincidence or can it be “proven” in some sense?
