Good point.  So a better design is either holes perpendicular to the
radius (and some way to spread the light source, or use a clear tube,
painted opaque between the sensors.

Mind you, this is still a crude level sensor, because you've only got as
much granularity as you have sensors, but it is fairly simple, and
easy to visualise.
