After some thought, I think I see what you were trying to get at. Let’s say you’ve got a 3-sphere, and you lop off a thin slice. That slice has a fair amount of volume, whereas with an n-sphere for increasingly high n, the volume is less and less—and thus intuitively more and more spike-like. Right?
