Draw a pyramid and you’ll think the bottom is bigger.
- Drawing a pyramid makes the mistake of thinking “more on the bottom, less on the top”.
- Misconception that the bottom is bigger than the top.
-
It’s in that form in Constraints by Gravity, but when you use it as a metaphor, there’s nothing that corresponds to that constraint.
