Why the Percentages Exceed a Hundred
Captions available
The idea
Adding every band's maximum gives far more than a hundred percent, because the bands overlap rather than partition. A Shakespeare sonnet is poetry, British, and Renaissance simultaneously. Unit one warned against reading the weightings as slices of a pie.
In practice
They overlap; they do not partition.
Where people slip
Not slices of a pie.
