The original essay uses several disciplinary lenses to ask how people interpret familiar training routines. Those comparisons are editorial questions, not a claim that all behaviorists, psychologists or sociologists agree. Our public position is to examine the assumptions behind an interpretation. What was directly observed? What has been inferred? What additional expertise or evidence would be needed to test that explanation?
A useful professional discussion can respect established practice while questioning its application to a particular goal. It should not attribute motives to an entire industry or present a metaphor as a scientific finding.
