    It’s only nonsense because pizza implies pie chart which implies a sum to 100%.

    Good example of How to Lie With Statistics.

      Well it works in this case, as you take 1° of the 360° circle, so the ratio works for a pie chart

        Nope. If you remove a 1 degree slice, you’re left with a 359 degree slice.

          Yes, in order to make this fully accurate, you need a picture of the 1° slice and another of the 360° slice, but in the grand scheme, it doesn’t matter if the CEO is getting 359 or 360 times your wage, the issue remains the same
