The precise formula here is actually not important.
The important observation is that this volume depends only on the *area* of P. It depends neither on the shape of P nor on its position on the outer sphere.
So if you do steps 1 to 4 for two slices P and P' of the outer sphere with the same area, the resulting "rings" will have the same volume.
So, does this convince you?

@hcschuetz@mastodon.social Yes, I can see it. I can now also see that @divbyzero@mathstodon.xyz understood this, yet triumphantly presented the 3D print as a model to illustrate something he already knew was wrong 🙄
