I just meant that it could be one possible coevolutionary outcome, not yours. 
It took me a long time to grasp a large organization (like LANL) as a host 
organism. I can thank Trump for learning it applies to nations too.

yes, this is a good analysis of my (childhood and beyond) nature... though I'm 
not sure "reveal less" is my signature here? More likely "hiding in plain 
sight"... 
I like your use of the term "cognitive dominance". It was very unequivocal 
albeit non-coerced. Made it easy for me to submit to institutional (LANL) life 
even though I sandwiched those 27 years on either side with a decade or more of 
entrepreneurial activity. While it *was* chafing I came to it with good 
callouses.
