I agree, but I've always called that shape the Cork Plug -- because I first learned about it via an article by Martin Gardner.
Also, the minimum volume Cork Plug has an interesting relationship to other primitive solids, based on ratios of volumes (see the attachment).

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
