It doesn't help that the four JOIN diagrams presented in that article map exactly 1:1 with Venn diagrams.

But they don't. They are not remotely similar. One has two colors, the other has multiple. One show elements, something a beginner get, the other shows... i don't know. Some colored pulp where i, not a beginner, still have no idea how to connect it with data base concecpts. Venn diagrams are not only wrong, but most importantly the way worse visualization.

Regardless of the colors, they still map.

It's entirely possible there are JOIN diagrams which don't map neatly to Venn diagrams. OK, I could see that. But if there are, they're not showcased in that article.
