As someone who's been known to data science and visualise from time to time, I'm fascinated by this.
So, I mean, it's not a necessary feature of Venn diagrams that the circles be drawn to scale. So the fact that the circles for, say "League Admin" and "Premiership Player" are the same size, implying that they have the same number of constituents is not necessarily incorrect, it's merely unfortunate. Unless we're not excluding that one month when the league administrator was randomly reassigned every 30 minutes, but I think it's best that that is excluded for most statistical purposes.
Nor, necessarily, is the significant overlap between "FRED Medalist" and "League Admin" necessarily fatal. And maybe that's just a weird thing, I mean, I've never checked out where the historical admins and maybe they're just mostly huge goalkickers.
But "3rd all time for goals scored with over 600" as a category.
This is quite clearly can only ever be a singular individual, yet there are, apparently, FRED medallists who are the "3rd all time for goals scored with over 600" and who are not "3rd all time for goals scored with over 600". There are premiership players who are, and who also are not.
That could have been on one of the arrows leading out of the intersection in the middle, but it is not. Instead, it simply is, a category full of one person who both does, and also does not, belong to each of the other groups.
