And to anyone who had any quibbles, Moose had this to say.
Inevitable ‘you got that wrong’ replies to my Venn diagrams. Please bear in mind, they’re jokes not maths.

It’s the twitter equivalent of heckling.

“Your joke is technically incorrect!"

As with many pedants their misconception is based on a category error. Jokes are often like magic tricks that use misdirection. So of course these jokes use the form of a Venn diagram to get you to a punchline. But they are JOKES, and all they need to do is make you laugh.

Also, if you want to be superpedantic, it’s possible to formulate the category on each side so that the centre IS correct. But only a tremendous bore would want to do that in order to laugh at the joke.

Last word to this guy.
Although it might not be the correct mathematical formulation, my kid playing with hula hoops made a Venn diagram of things that wake me up in the middle of the night, and things I love pic.twitter.com/4RwLdNzQ6U
