that pyramid makes it look like debate is build on a foundation of violence

I ask, because, I'm not sure if the 2nd from bottom level was called "suppression", nor am I sure (at all) what was the elaboration in the "violence" layer. ... But I hope I've at least remained faithful to the spirit of it. Eager to hear any corrections. Or even, if anyone finds the original extended version, that would be great to compare to.
All the best garbage to learn from, to debug, debug, debug, sharpening those skills.
Heh. That's a fun chart. If that's programming aptitude, I scored 80 on that part of the broad spectrum aptitude test I got a sneak-peek chance to do several parts of. Well now I know why I'm so easily in agreement with "senior coders", if it is programming aptitude quotient. If it's just iq, ... pulls hood up to block the glare.
Daunting that there may be a middling bias getting apparent advantages. Evolution may not serve us well like that.
And many between "seniour developers everywhere" and "a layman who never wrote code in his life".
Like me, I'm saying it too. A big ol "No duh".
Disbelieve the hype.
Hope better, higher.
Hopefully you can raise it to centrally refuting the point.
Or at least to counterargument, above mere contradiction.
