Yes, I'm sure someone will disagree with some fine-point of that division but isn't that what woodshedding is all about?
OT (diction): Hmm ... I think you meant "bikeshedding" (energetic discussion of meaningless details) -- "woodshedding" *is* an actual slang term, but one that originated among musicians, meaning "to practice one's skills alone" (i.e., to go off to a woodshed where no one can hear you).
