The drama that is in play is an oft-recurring (and thus predictable) drama that arises when the dominant player is operating at Kohlberg Level 4 and the non-dominant player is seeking to operate at Kohlberg Level 5. This drama has many famous examples in history, some more familiar than others. The version that seems most apt in this go-round is the version which Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole portrayed in the encounter between Thomas à Becket and King Henry.
Thanks for the movie tip. It's at the top of my queue now.
Also thanks for the pointer to the Kohlberg levels. I'm not a big fan of psychology but this seems to have some useful truths to it.
Here is my presentation of the
Integrated Kohlberg-Gilligan Model.

Surely you did not mistake me for an authentic science educator, using authentic didactic methods did you?
Is that another roll of the dice? Surely you are running out of squares you can move to?
Shakespeare had plays inside of plays.
What usually happens in these encounters is that the operator at Kohlberg tries to make the set of legal moves the Null Set. At that point I am obliged to do something creative and unexpected that the rules don't address. Recently I've been writing atrocious song parodies on my blog, lampooning the machinations of the Red Queen.
The thing about creativity is that the space of imaginable moves is of a higher order infinity than Aleph-Null. Rulesets can only outlaw a countable number of maneuvers.
I'm a better scientist than artist, but if Jimbo & Co want to be the subject of atrocious works of art, who am I to deny them their 15 minutes of fame?
