Talk:2769: Overlapping Circles

Incorrect. I’m sure there are set theorists who get excited about that shape who are not astronomers, and astronomers who get excited about that shape who are not set theorists, and people who get excited about it who are neither. 162.158.91.35 23:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

    Hmmm, I'm not a set theorist, but I don't think that's what the Venn diagram is trying to say. My understanding is that both set theorists and astronomers get excited about that shape, not that only people who are both astronomers and set theorists would be excited.

    I agree with Alcatraz ii. The original poster has a point that there are people who agree neither set theorists nor astronomers and get excited about this shape, but a Venn diagram does not imply that the people in the overlapping section are both set theorists and astronomers.

Actually, it does. That's what overlaps in a Venn diagram mean, it's the set of entities that satisfy both conditions. Nitpicking (talk) 02:25, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

On title text: I'm pretty sure that if two sets are represented by a single circle rater than two, it's no longer a Venn diagram but merely an Euler diagram. 172.71.94.3 00:22, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
