Richard, I wonder if the whole hierarchical thing happened because homeo
sapiens stood up on two legs! Then the tendency to think of development as
being ONLY a vertical process took over. I now tend to think of human
development as a multi directional process, thinking of the brain as maybe
having the potential to develop in all directions.

It's kind of difficult to write computer code without using a
hierarchy. Go figure.
The first coding course I took was 'Structuring Programming
Languages' at my local community college. At first, I thought I
wouldn't like it much, because I was not very fond of diagramming
sentences in elementary school. But, it made so much sense, that I
enrolled for MS Visual Basic in the next semester. Subsequently I
completed a course in Oracle, Database Management w/MS Access, and
Programming in SQL with Macromedia Cold Fusion 6. According to my
Professor, a programmer should graduate knowing at least three
computer programming languages.
So, not believing in a hierarchy is thus absurd. It doesn't even
make any sense in the practical world. We observe hierarchy almost
everywhere in nature, beginning with gravity sucks. Go figure.
