That is very interesting. I always hated how Decision Trees showed overfitting when displaying decision zones. Much appreciated.

You may want to write a similar text for XGBoost and Random Forests. They all suffer from the same disease

As far as I have seen, random forest are quite robust to this. While the individual decision tree may overfit the bootstrapped data, the whole decision tree is somewhat robust and does not entirely overfit the whole training data.
