    There are two parts to example: the plain functions, and the composition. CoffeeScript can make the plain functions look different, but the composition is the strangest looking; I need to find a better syntax for representing a directed gra

    Sure, there's no disputing that the fixed pie fallacy exists, but you have not made a convincing argument that this situation is an instance of the fallacy.
