On January 19, 2024 I blogged about The joy of 2x2 tables, or charts, or matrixes. The Pearls Before Swine cartoon by Stephen Pastis for March 30, 2025 has a line drawing of the graphic shown above (without axis labels), and the following dialogue:

 

Pig: Oh, great Wise Ass, help me to understand humanity.

 

Wise Ass: Of course, my son… All people can be classified into one of four quadrants which look like this…

 

Wise Ass: We love Group(A), tolerate Group(B), and pity Group(C).

 

Pig: That all sounds good, but what about Group(D)? The Dumb and Arrogant.

 

Pig: I know who’s been running our lives.
