N, Ryan: The graph is accurate. I ate every bit of the pie represented by the silver-colored wedge in this pie chart. If you think I’m lying you could say that this graph lacks *credibility*, but not accuracy. This is at worst an accurate visual representation of a dubiously credible claim.

Obviously, a statistician “fudging” the truth again. Mathematicians know pie are squared.

If a pie’s area is pi*r^2 and that is an 8″ pie pan. this chart makes it clear that you have about 33 square inches of pie to go.

You obviously haven’t done anything to account for rounding errors.

Another proof that pies are made for eating and not for charting.

This graph is highly inaccurate. The silver portion only represents the amount of pie removed from the tin, not necessarily the amount eaten.

This chart is inaccurate. What evidence do you have that you actually ate the pie and what evidence is there that YOU will consume the rest. These kind of pie charts mislead the public and create an atmosphere of distrust and suspicion. This is why healthcare reform will fail.

I don’t get it. A piece of the pie is missing.

For some reason I found this hilariously funny and laughed so loud my wife thought I was sobbing and came upstairs
