Yes Stolt, i used that comparison- for a specific reason: many disco players are neitehr diplomats, politicians, CEOs, Generals, security company leaders, pirates, murderers for hire and whatnot, thus might have not a very broad insight of these other than the media or entertainment. School, on the otehr hand is a thing that many people here visited or are visiting right now - also dynamics at school are similarish everywhere to a certain extend, thus everybody has a clear cut view what he is talking about- maybe with first or second hand experience of such a situation even.
Furthermore the situation is knowingly simplified, as i firmly believe that if you want to judge, evaluate and interpret a extremly complex situation like real world politcs and transfer them to the wishfully similarly complex disco politics, then you should be able to judge, interprete and evaluate a simple situation such as the one i presented. Esy things are easy....complex things are complex( and easier to tackle by small steps)
Now you quoted a complex theory...thumbs up for reading and doing your homework- what you missed out thoug is for one- theories are just that, theories...and especially those that are not dedicated to natural science are noptoriously hard to prove or contradict, also they are limited in scope due to their very nature. Summed up- the next best Prof. will have his own and if he is good his explanations will be "waterproof" as well.
Now i boldly claim that with enough twisting and wriggling you will be able to justify everything that happens as "diplomacy" on disco, maybe you can even force-squeeze it into a theorem. Still at a certain point things fall apart - and while the exaple of the Order you gave might be a nice one i am also sure you picked it with a bit of thought...and didn`t pick one of the big screw ups i targeted. Grey areas always exist, but claiming everything is grey instead of admitting that some things are very wrong(and not grey) in our nice little dissco diplomacy is a bit short sighted.
To loop back- my littly bully exaple fits perfectly for the disco complexity even if you don`t add in additional factors( which could be parents, teachers, police..yada yada) it simply shows that conflicts of interests can not be ignored in some(/most) cases by claiming their influence stems from different parts of your existence.
