    It’s hard to tell whether the difference is that the pumpkin pie crust is “slanted” while the cheesecake crust is vertical, or that the pumpkin pie is a single slice while a “quiche”-topology cheesecake is intended to be eaten whole.

      So if I understand right, the cube rule is giving permission to eat a whole cheesecake, but not a whole pumpkin pie?

        Yes, that is the brilliant simplicity of the cube rule.
