(3,151 posts)4. There's still assumptions made
As a rigorous statistician, and linguistic pedant, I'm having to take it on trust that
i) no-one else had access to the pie and removed a sliver
ii) you actually ate it rather than discarding some because your eyes were bigger than your stomach .
Don't feel bad, I've never yet met a pie chart I couldn't knock holes in somehow.
This is borne from the admonition at the top of my High School math text's introduction to statistics:
A statistician uses statistics much as a drunk uses a lamp post: for support rather than illumination.
