actually that region is with AND without you. the pink and teal is where bono can’t live. IT IS IMPORTANT TO CORRECTLY INTERPET DATA.
Well, if Bono is using “or” in the Boolean/inclusive sense, then it’s true that he can’t live in the overlap, but he also can’t live anywhere else on the diagram. If he’s using “or” in the exclusive sense, then I guess he could live in the overlap — both with and without you — but this seems logically incoherent… I knew logic class would be useful one day.

You can’t expect someone to become a biologist by giving them access to the Harvard University biology library and saying “just look through it” .. that would give them nothing. And the Internet is the same except magnified enormously […]
You can’t pursue any kind of inquiry without a relatively clear framework that’s directing your search and helping you choose what’s significant and what isn’t… If you don’t have some sort of a framework for what matters — always, of course, with the provisor that you’re willing to question it if it seems to be going in the wrong direction — if you don’t have that, exploring the Internet is just picking out the random factoids that don’t mean anything… You have to know how to evaluate, interpret, and understand… The person who wins the Nobel Prize is not the person who read the most journal articles and took the most notes on them. It’s the person who knew what to look for. And cultivating that capacity to seek what’s significant, always willing to question whether you’re on the right track — that’s what education is going to be about, whether it’s using computers and the Internet, or pencil and paper, or books.
