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.
