The only problem with this is that in order for the statement to be true, wouldn't "(-shit)" have had to be contained within the set of Real numbers to begin with?

A negative is a real number, so it is contained within the set of real numbers.

Yes, I know, that's the whole point. The point implied by the graphic is that (-shit) is contained of the set of imaginary numbers, and that by applying algebraic operations to it we can transform it into something that is contained in the set of Real numbers. It is, however, only the (-shit)^(1/2) that is itself imaginary and not (-shit) as implied by the graphic.
