Ever witnessed a mathematician having a meltdown? This is it. The center figure is losing his mind over the philosophical quandary of whether two lines that visibly cross are actually "parallel" because there's no explicit coordinate for their intersection point. Meanwhile, the bell curve suggests only the very average (34%) and the exceptionally smart/dumb (14%) understand that lines meeting at a point are, by definition, intersecting. It's the mathematical equivalent of watching someone scream "THE SKY ISN'T BLUE" while pointing at a clearly blue sky. This is what happens when you spend too much time doing proofs—reality becomes optional.
