What do you need to CCW?

Inconceivable!
I do not think that diagram means what you think it means. :D
[/Princess Bride Reference]
The diagram is a good example/warning of looking at something and interpreting it within the confines of our own biases, prejudices and frame of reference.

Is there something about the use of operators that is incorrect?
As I said, obviously if it is taken as meanings for logical states, it is logically impossible. However, what is incorrect about it being taken as operations?
Is there another aspect of this you'd like to discuss, as opposed to making oblique references without specifics?
DenmanShooter:
Really, whether the graph is correct or incorrect doesn't matter.
It conveys the idea behind the post in a visual way which is easy to understand.
We know some things, we don't know some things and there are things we don't even know that we don't know.
Great way to look at how we have to expand our horizons and look beyond our own small world to understand there are complexities to situations we aren't even aware of or cannot predict.
We can only be prepared for things we know and hopefully be able to evaluate and use the preparations we have made for the unknowns that may come up.
But we have to first admit there are things we don't even know we don't know.

My Princess Bride reference was very specific.
For the diagram to work as "operations", as you suggest, we would need an order of operations. Moreover, a Venn diagram is not an operational diagram. It is a diagram that demonstrates logical relationships between data sets.
My reference above to interpreting things within the confines of our biases, prejudices and frame of reference was not intended to be "oblique" ... or ambiguous.
We all look at things through our inherent frame of reference. It's human nature. If you have little or no frame of reference for Venn diagrams, for instance, you may look at one and see "operations". On the other hand, if you have spent years being educated on Venn diagrams, educating others on their use and utilizing them in your job ... you have a highly defined frame of reference.
With a highly defined frame of reference, one should be able to quickly look at something and immediately see what is right or wrong. The risk of a highly defined frame of reference is that new data may be introduced causing that frame of reference to become largely invalid.
The risk of an undefined frame of reference is, of course, quite the opposite.
Apply to your own personal defense and what is "needed" for CCW as you will.

And yet another meandering thread.
How does this apply to Zombie's?
